The recall is about much more than Gov. Davis. It is an assault on the whole political class in California by an electorate in a very bad mood. Voters have concluded that the electoral process has become a private affair of incumbents, their campaign consultants and the various interest groups that fund these endeavors, and now they have a chance to do something about it.
Sounds plausible.
UPDATE: Sgt. Stryker says more or less the same thing, in more colorful fashion:
Oooh, that’ll really stick in the professionals’ craw , eh? If real people put down the bong, go to the ballot box and exercise their right to vote, they’ll screw up all kinds of shit for people who’ve spent an entire lifetime getting by on voter apathy.
I like the monkey bit, too.
