Kevin : "A minute ago" was on July 31st, eleven days after your last post. At the time, polls were showing a 5% discrepancy for and against the recall. Hey, I also referred to Issa as a candidate in that very same post. I guess that also makes me "out of touch," since I cited something that was a fact in its present tense. Try again, junior..... "


You were being told you were out of touch even 'at the time" and so were the polls. You scoffed that my opinions didn't speak for all of California.... but the polls show my views represent a bit more then 5%. Eat dirt.

I'll explain something to you about the Davis recall. The damage he has done to the State and on some level, even the country, should be an impeachable offense. Here's why. When you look at the situation with the recent East Coast blackout, it has it's seeds in the Gray Davis office. Pg & E failed to block several initiatives to allow independent utility companies the right to service customers, giving people the right to chose who they pay their electric bill to. Somehow, voters have won the right and still Pacific gas and Electric has blocked it. They also made threats, that if they didn't get money from the State to build new power plants, grids, etc. that there would be power shortages. Sure enough, there were outages, rolling blackouts to "ease the system", and Pg &E got what it wanted in the end. It was extortian, and Davis was an accomplice. On top of it, California customers were upcharged for services they were already paying for, and PG & E was basically sending bills for random amounts.

So now you have the same thing happening with utility companies, on a larger national level...and thanks to Davis, there is a precedence for it. Everything you're hearing as part of this "investigation" on what went wrong, are familiar to Californians. This week PG & E announced that it wasn't an overload that caused their blackouts, it was in fact, operator error.

Obviously there's more to this, but my point here is that this runs FAR deeper then partisan politics, and a lot of Californians do want Davis out .... and that's always been my point.
