you still don't get it. do yourself a favor. start spending time with real
people, not the dems and the liberals you apparently hang with.

the people are fools? they elected Grayout in 2002 so I guess yor right. I
guess they finally came to their senses.

as for the demolibs and their threats to run another recall, after these
results, even the idiots who run the democratic party should be able to
figure out that the people will not support any such effort.

as for you - perhaps you should take a lesson from Davis, and accept change
with grace.
