1. Good question...I guess folks out here aren't that vengeful
Remember, the dude that started the petition to oust Gray Davis ended up hiring people from out-of-state (illegal by the way) to do the collection of signatures. The only way the recall was allowed was because some crazy judge said that even though the collection of signatures was illegal, the "intent" of the people signing was cool. WTF???

2. It costs a lot of money to get necessary signatures
Apparently there isn't a millionaire willing to put up the money like there was for previous recall.

3. Costs too much money, and he's up for a real election soon anyway
To recall him would make us look just as vindictive as the weirdo republican who live here. He was "installed" by democrats too (unfortunately) because he was more "jazzy" than Cruz, and people bought into the idea that he would be "moderate":puke:

We'll just dump him on his ass next year:)

4. NOTE: Arnold has put in a GOP Sec. of State to oversee the next election
One of Kevin Shelley's (old Sec. of State recently run out of office) issues was making sure the P.C. voting in this state was legit.

Don't think the next CA election is in the bag... The GOP seems to have perfected the Katherine Harris/Ken Blackwell method of electioneering.
