Shut up. Ballot access has little to do with a ballot access that involves having enough dough to get on. Ballot access has little yo do with three months to campaign, which as I have already stated, will give the candidate with the most media exposure (ie, CASH) the ability to have an advantage. Thois has little to do with ballot access, you fucking moron.

Kevin - your academia brain is so clogged it's barely worth responding to you.
Blah, blah, blah....try responding to my points and answering my questions rather than being evasive and acting like an internet tough guy.

suffice to say californians have some diverse reasons for supporting a recall. decades of corruption at the hands of both parties (that far outweighs any comparison to ny state ) has a lot more to do with it then simply supporting the republican party.
Name some while you're at it. And what does a "historical precedent of corruption" have to do with recalling Gray David? Does it exceed the corruption of Tammany Hall? What about the Democratic Machine that ran Albany's capital for most of the 20th Century?? Heck, what about the system we have RIGHT NOW with the "three men in a room" solution to legislative problems? I know you'd like to envision yourself as a special little cloud in the universe of political importance, but it just isn't the case.

Furthermore, I never said it was support for the Republicans that motivated this. Try reading my posts over again.

california has had a 20 year fight to get term limits and accountability for it's officials. that along with voter fraud issues and a dislike for sitting in the dark has pushed a lot of tax paying residents to explore some options. within the system that existed, not one created for their whims.
BOOHOO! BOOHOO! California is so naughty and sad!!

Again, get over yourself. You aren't the only state with problems, and you've yet to justify the recall, and more importantly, the SOLUTION it poses....

you can sit around jerking off to your text books crying about how recalls and impeachments are a disgrace to the system all you want....
HA HA! I GET IT! I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT! FUNNY FUNNY!!

Look, bottom line is I understand this shit more than you do. You can whine and bitch about "empowering" the people of California, but the fact remains that your solution bites.

it's nice to see the people of california empowered for a change. even if as you claim, it's only 5% of them.
Who needs 5%? You clearly speak for them as a whole anyway, they should just go on vacation....

Try responding to some points, rather than wasting my damn time...
