This is a good article that sort of explains why we've come to what's going on in California. Ballot initiatives are out of control here. The reason why Prop. 209 passed is because of an initiative, not because of politicians.

I just read an article in the Washington Post about Arnold and his ties to a group that promotes English as the national language of the US. What does that say to those who dont speak English? It's a little hypocritical of him especially because he learned English from watching American television. :rolleyes:

Appeals Court Delays Calif. Recall Vote
24 minutes ago

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES - A federal appeals court postponed the Oct. 7 recall election Monday in a decision that threw what has already been a chaotic campaign into utter turmoil.




The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) ruled that the historic vote cannot proceed as scheduled because some votes would be cast using outmoded punch-card ballot machines. The decision applies to all the recall questions on the ballot, as well as two propositions.


The court withheld ordering the immediate implementation of its decision by one week to allow time for an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites).


"Give us 24 hours," said Ted Costa, head of the Sacramento-based Peoples' Advocate, one of the groups that put the recall on the ballot, who said an appeal is certain.


A spokesman for Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites) said the governor will continue his campaign "until the issue is resolved in the courts," but supported the appeals court's ruling.


"Anything that leads to greater enfranchisement in California is something we support," said spokesman Peter Ragone.


Neither Davis nor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the leading Republican among the 135 replacement candidates, had an immediate reaction to the three-judge panel's ruling, which could force the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on another highly partisan political issue — one Democrats have said echoes the 2000 election in which the high court declared Republican George Bush (news - web sites) the winner.


The ruling is likely to benefit Davis if the election is delayed to the next regularly scheduled primary, March 2.


The March presidential primary is expected to draw large numbers of Democratic voters, and the months until then would give Davis more time to address the state's problems and force Schwarzenegger into a longer campaign.


The decision came as the race's top names were enlisting big national stars in their campaigns.


Trying to soften his image with women voters, Schwarzenegger assured talk show host Oprah Winfrey on Monday that reports of a salacious, party-hard past were more tall tale than truth and do not bear on his run for California governor.


Davis was in Southern California with former President Clinton (news - web sites) to dedicate the William Jefferson Clinton elementary school in the impoverished suburb of Compton, and the two had planned to later attend a fund raiser.


In the ruling Monday, the judges of the 9th Circuit, the nation's largest and most liberal federal appeals court, agreed with the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) that the punch-card voting machines still used in six California counties are prone to error.


The counties — Los Angeles, in addition to Mendocino, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Clara and Solano — were already under a separate court order to replace them by the March primary, but the machines wouldn't be replaced in time for an Oct. 7 special election.


"In sum, in assessing the public interest, the balance falls heavily in favor of postponing the election for a few months," the court said.


Schwarzenegger and his wife, television journalist Maria Shriver, were in Chicago on Monday morning taping the season premiere of "The Oprah Winfrey Show (news - Y! TV)." Polls had showed the Republican actor struggling to win over women in the recall race, and women are the show's primary audience.


Schwarzenegger, speaking before the court ruled, told Winfrey he was excited about the campaign. He also talked about old magazine articles that had resurfaced in which he described a sexually salacious, party-hard lifestyle and said they reflected a 1970s strategy to pump up interest in body building, the sport that made him famous.





"We really were out there doing crazy things. We were trying to get the attention," he said. "At that time I didn't think I was going to run for governor."

Before Schwarzenegger took the stage, Winfrey asked Shriver — a member of the Kennedy family — whether she had been brought up to look the other way if her husband was a womanizer.

"You know that ticks me off," Shriver said. "I am my own woman, I have not been bred to look the other way. I accept him with all his strengths and all his weaknesses, as he does me."

Davis, meanwhile, was scheduled to make a second day of campaign stops with Clinton, following a joint appearance Sunday at a predominantly black church in Los Angeles.

Clinton had spoken passionately against the recall during the Sunday service, mixing Scripture with politics at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church.

He repeated his party's theme that the recall election is part of a right-wing power grab, and said removing Davis could scare future officeholders away from making difficult choices.

"This is way bigger than him," Clinton said. "It's you I'm worried about. It's California I worry about. I don't want you to become a laughing stock, or a carnival, or the beginning of a circus in America where we throw people out for making tough decisions."

"Don't do this. Don't do this," he said. The congregation erupted in applause.

Davis was also scheduled to campaign this week with other prominent Democratic figures, including former Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites), the Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites) and several of the 2004 Democratic presidential candidates. It wasn't immediately clear Monday if those plans would change.

State Democrats on Saturday, in an emergency meeting, said they opposed the recall but endorsed Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante as a back up candidate if voters decided to recall Davis.

Is this not what should have happened anyway? :o

I have to finally admit it that my state (Cali) has become a damn joke. This recall mess is horrible. The other day, the book came in the mail listing all the candidates and their bios. How in the hell is someone supposed to read through the 100+ candidates and make an educated decsision. On top of that, we've got porn stars, former child actors, current bad actors, etc. running for office. Debates being staged in the form of game shows? Get real, this is bull crap. I, personally, am glad that the recall is postponed. For the first time since I've been of legal voting age, I really don't think that I will bother to go out and vote. The current governor SUCKS, but the recall and the candidates are a big JOKE.

Heck my Pastor (y'all already know about him), who is currently serving his jail sentence on home confinement had the crazy notion to try and raise $3500 from the congregation so that he could run for Governor. Came up here one morning talkin' 'bout "Baby...I knows ya know how to find out the info..see if you can go onto that there intnet (HELLO...INTERNET) and get me the paper so I can be the governor."

I'm going to take a wait and see attitude on this. Until the Supreme Court :rolleyes: says it's postponed, I believe the recall will be Oct. 7. And you know what the Supes and Uncle C. did the last time -- gave the country Gorgie Dubya Boosh.
:rolleyes:

Please don't make me laugh....Lord have mercy. FOR REAL. I don't know how you still call this clown "pastor" He's a trip!! You shoulda told him his house arrest won't let him go to Sacramento, so he couldn't run! :rolleyes:

On the real though, please vote when ever this recall happens. I can see the serious folks getting disgusted and staying home, and the weird-os thinkin' they cute going and voting for the porn star or Gary Coleman or someone and then low and behold that person wins! You see what kinda shape y'all are in now, can you imagine if Miss Busti McStoopid was GOVERNOR?!?!!?

CTFU. CTFU. CTFU.

High turnout is very important. Low turnouts are a haven for weirdos and extremists.
:rolleyes:

Yaaaayyyyy!!!
 

I get to VOTE in the psychokillerKalifornication Recall!!!!!

The best thing that Davis outta do is resign and this chit gets shut down, rapidly...

Wait... Here's one better...
 

President Arnold Schwarzenegger?
As Arnold Schwarzenegger launches his political career, it's worth recalling a scene from the film "Demolition Man," which takes place in the year 2026. As Sandra Bullock attempts to bring Sylvester Stallone up to speed on what has happened in the world in the last 30 years, she refers to the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library.

Stallone: "Hold it! The Schwarzenegger Library?"

Bullock: "Yes, the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library. Wasn't he an actor?"

Stallone: "Stop! He was President?"

Bullock: "Yes. Even though he was not born in this country, his popularity at the time caused the 61st Amendment…"

I think we are safe from President Schwarzenegger. I seriously don't see a consititutional amendment allowing for foreign-born citizens becoming eligible for the presidency. Just to interject my politics, I don't think it should happen either. It's there for a reason and I think it's a good thing. Plus, amendments are too darn hard to pass. In over 200 years, we only have 27.

It's GUBNOR Schwarzen...well, you know! ;) :p

I can't believe my home state let this happen. :rolleyes:

On another note, why did 12,291 people vote for Gary Coleman? :eek:

(Soror AKA2D'91 I'm feeling your signature)

That's a dayum shame.

Ok, why you got me choking on my water right about now?

CTFU @ Gary Coleman!!!

Oh geesh, it really must be THAT BAD if Gary Coleman was pulling in votes.:D :eek: :D
