There was an article in the New York Times earlier this week on how crazy the California recall process is. Basically, with hundreds of candidates on the ballot, it would be logical to list everybody running alpabetically by last name, so you'd know where to find your candidate on the ballot. But thats not what they are doing. They actually held a LOTTERY style drawing where they picked letters of the alphabet out of a hat or something randomly, and the first letter chosen determined the first person on the ballot. So that if the first letter was "G" and alphabetically, somebody named George Gaaronson was the first person with the last name G whose name comes up, he'd get listed first on the ballot. But then the second person who appears on the ballot WOULDN'T be the second name listed alphabetically under G, it would be the first person listed under the second letter of the alphabet that comes up in the drawing. Or something like that. Totally absurd. So what you'll have is several hundred people on the ballot, with the names all scrambled and in no logical order, so you'll have to look long and hard to find your candidate's name. This probably means LONG lines on election day. Also there are stories that there are right wing groups gearing up to go hard negative on Arnold. Arnold is a Republican, but he is a moderate, and even worse for some conservatives, is pro-choice and an environmentalist. Those folks would rather have a DEMOCRAT as governor than a pro-choice tree hugger! One article said they may use in ads outtakes from Arnold's "Pumping Iron" movie, the documentary about Arnold's bodybuilding days in the seventies, which show a young Arnold smoking a marijuana joint, exhaling and laughing. Yep, this campaign could get nasty! I mean unlike Clinton, Arnold couldn't even at least deny he inhaled, because its on tape! :)
