It seems the recall petitioners and protesters can't see a good thing when they've got it. They pat themselves on the back for being civic-minded enough to bring a "grass roots" recall for something they believe in, yet complain about the very procedure that is used. To them, it is a good thing for our society to particpate in democracy. Apparently, it's a good democratic thing to go through the recall, but not a good thing to sort out the procedure for it. Nothing on this scale has happened before, which, to the pro-recall people is a good thing, but to figure out how it will play out if it ever happens again is a bad thing. Verifying recall signatures, recall petitioners, etc would seem to be a good thing. You never know, maybe a democrat governor will be recalled in the future. Isn't it a good thing for our society to have the process figured out so it is smoother the next time? It appears that nothing is quite good enough for the petitioners. Sour grapes.
