CA Recall Roundup

PeaceTree Farm looks at the trend among the national news media to talk as though voting against the recall precludes voting for a candidate. Which, in fact, it doesn't.

Governors across the country nervously eyeing their own recall laws, just in case this whole thing is contagious.

Columnist Kathleen Parker says that the only proper way to consider the recall under the influence.

Body and Soul has one, two vintage Schwarzenegger quotes. Creep.

Nobody Knows Anything talks about Proposition 187, or as they call it, the Muahahaha Initiative. This Schwarzenegger supported legislative nightmare would have made life a living hell for the illegal immigrants who run the better part of the California service economy, and Diane explains why very clearly.

Calpundit laments the lack of budget sanity floating around the state these days.

Will Durst gives us a quick and funny recall FAQ.

The Mercury News provides a brief roundup of their own, with this especially interesting note:

...ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Through his Traditional Values Coalition, the Rev. Louis P. Shelton is telling California's religious right that "trading Gray Davis for Arnold Schwarzenegger produces no net gain for moral government."

Sheldon is asking 10,000 California pastors and conservative activists to share information packets about Schwarzenegger's unsuitability for governor. The coalition's Californians for Moral Government project is distributing a letter and packets this week.

..."Once you scratch the superficial screen persona of the 'Terminator,' you discover the same old, tired rhetoric of the anti-religious left. Schwarzenegger sees all of us who oppose abortion and cloning as religious fanatics," Sheldon wrote in the letter. ...

Heh. Anaheim is screamingly conservative, but what can you expect from a former Klan stronghold? (Fast Food Nation, Schlosser, never get tired of bringing that up.)
