I’d just like to say, after having listened to this crap all night, that there was never any recall vote and I don’t understand (okay, I do, actually, I’m speaking rhetorically) why no one ever pointed it out. The way the ballot was structured (vote yes or no on the recall, then vote for other candidates if you voted yes) means that he was recalled the moment the decision was made to vote on the issue, they just allowed him to run again to win it back.
I’m sure that Davis was probably just as bad as I have seen him painted recently, but it seems to me that recalls should be reserved for some sort of severe transgression, rather than just one party’s desire to claim an office early because they suddenly find themselves with a candidate they think they can win with if the election is quick. This is an amazing and dangerous little precedent to have set and you can expect to see it a lot more.
This country grows uglier every day.
