Bush and the power companies that fund him are responsible for many of California's current financial problems. The catastrophic Bush economy has destroyed the economies of many states, actually. It is very likely that the entire fake power crisis was planned as a way to undermine Davis while making even more money for Bush's donors.
Beyond that, what's going on in California should scare the shit out of anyone who believes in a government of the people. If you look at the way this whole recall is being done, it's all based strictly on money and partisanship, nothing to do with Davis' job performance or anything else.
There are far more Democrats in California than there are Republicans and it only takes 900,000 signatures for a recall. Two days after some loser Republican steals the office, Democrats can just recall him or her. Then the Republicans can do the same thing again, then Democrats can do another recall, and the cycle continues. Thus, the State of California becomes a banana Republic just like Florida, because of the actions of some corrupt rich far right Republicans.
The outdated recall rules were never meant as a way to overturn a legal election, but that's what they're being used for. This is going to cost Californians a lot of money, and it's going to cost a lot more than money in the long run. Republicans are fucking the state worse than Davis ever did.
