John Fund's take on the California recall and the race for Governor. Quotable:

[Gray Davis] is the first politician in anyone's memory to have less than 50% support in all demographic groups.

And this:

recall organizers say their effort should be viewed as an act of political hygiene. And by 60% to 32%, Californians in the Los Angeles Times poll agreed that a recall effort to remove a bad governor was legitimate. They view a recall as akin to firing someone who's been hired for a job on a four-year contract but refuses to work.
