The California recall is finally upon us. It's a story that has captivated political circles nationwide with its circus-like atmosphere where over 130 candidates are on the ballot to replace the current, disliked governor, should he be recalled.
We here at HUMAN EVENTS have been wrapped up in it a little bit, too. Here are several of the pieces we've published about the recall effort and many of the issues involved.
