"Power Grab" Blues

The recall was not, in the end, a power grab — or really it was a failed power grab by Darrell Issa. The numbers here show that Arnold received more votes on Tuesday than Davis did in 2002. (Matt Welch has more.) Direct democracy in action. Fair enough. My trouble with Arnold is that I think he's a fake. He's not special-interest-free, and the notion of electing a guy who avoided all but one debate before election day — and turned in a lukewarm, question-dodging performance at that — is silly.
