Amos, good luck. My daughter and her husband live in California. My son in law is a born and bred conservative Republican who supported Wilson. I haven't much doubt but that he/they supported Swartzenegger- we gave up discussing politics and human rights some time ago so I can't be sure.

But they are bright people in other ways- my hope, since the latest news has come out, is that at the least they'll post only a protest vote in the recall. (Gary Coleman, maybe!) I would be not only mortified but repulsed if I found they had voted for A.S.

I don't understand why Davis is in this position in the first place. They say the recall is legal- but surely it was instituted to be used in cases of malfeasance and other chicanery? Surely not because a governor's judgments are not popular? I can't imagine any of the gubernatorial candidates having a better grasp than the incumbent on what can be done to bring California out of its current mess.
