Obscure Recall Candidates
The San Jose Mercury-News reports that 123 Californians have taken out papers to run for governor in the recall election. I hope that at least one of them - or, preferably, 118 - are ordinary Joes whose name happen to be “Joe Davis.”
On the one hand, this insanely long list is going to make the recall ballot look extremely stupid. On the other, given the current budge crunch, maybe that’s a small price to pay. At $3,500 a pop, 123 candidates means $430,500 of much-needed revenue. If the trend continues, maybe this recall election will end up paying for itself. That will surely come as good news to the Taxpayers
