3. Yes, the recall process in California is flawed...

And I don't see why we don't use an impeachment process instead, if someone is really terrible.

Newsom has been fine, but this recall is trying to squeeze in a Republican governor using an underhanded manner.

One solution would be to let the governor being recalled also be a candidate in the plurality choices.

The only good thing about this whole affair, besides the possibility that the recall will fail, is that whoever replaced Newsom will have to run on their own again next year.

Of course, I also don't think Gray Davis should have been recalled some two decades ago, either.

Normally I'm proud to be a long time Californian, but this sort of crap is embarrassing.
