Easy Griff...I listened to the same interview, and I don't think he nor NPR were necessarily Democratic propagandists.

The United States is a republic, not a true democracy. If we were a true democracy, nothing would ever get done.

Maybe because I'm not from California, I don't get it. But it seems like the anger towards him is a bit misdirected, i.e. they're blaming the wrong guy.

And IMO, the recall process in California is too easy to get going. While I'm all for "for the people, by the people," tougher standards are needed for a recall there.
