Well, I've heard that reasoning used numerous times, and I remembered you using it before, so I incorrectly assumed it was you I heard numerous times.

Did Californians have the right to change their mind? Absolutely, with the laws of the state behind them. But less than a year after re-electing him?
Once again, an arbitrary line drawn. More than a year would be OK then? You'd be happy if it were 13 months, or maybe 16?

You sum it up well when you say "I don't live in California", and neither do I. You might have some basis in calling the voters silly or fickle or ignorant, but to dub the recall a crock of shit because of the length of time since the previous election is pretty baseless.

As far as I'm concerned, this was democracy in action. Everything was done according to the laws of the state.

I do think it's kinda cool how accessible this election was. However, I wonder if that will be a good thing in the end...
Huh? Please explain. How is an accessible election bad?
