Are any other states trying to recall governors?
For those of you who think the California recall doesn't affect them personally, think again. I'm not talking about a generalized "we all suffer when democracy fails" kind of effect.

It's like a contagion, a virus, and it's spreading from state to state. My home state (it's the bright green one to the left) is the next one to be afflicted with this disease. Be careful -- it could happen to you.

They're about a 1/4 of the way to the 128,000 signatures needed, and they still have until Thanksgiving to get the rest. Also, Guinn is a REPUBLICAN.

(I'd also like to mention that the petition drive is being spearheaded by Freepers who seem to think that raising taxes to pay for our on-the-verge-of-collapse-schools is the worst idea in history. Christ almighty, what's wrong with these people? Why can't they just pay their fair share and STFU?

3. Wisconsin has talk of it already
but they have to wait until January for the Gov to be in office for 12 months. You will hear more from the land of cheese in a few months I'm sure.

4. Wait a whole 12 months?
What's wrong with you Wisconsonians? Why wait a whole year? Get on the ball...surely there's SOME democratic election you can overturn? </satire>

This is exactly what I'm talking about -- shitty little Republicans who think that they can steal elections, just like their hero did in Florida.
