Will the Republicans start a recall of Cruz next?
Why wouldn't they recall Cruz next? And then another Democrat, and the rest of them too?

There are plenty of Republican celebs waiting for their chance to become media darlings.

What do you think?

1. no, he's a useful scapegoat
and a Lt Gov just doesn't have the platform to real make trouble and they found in the recall that he's without a dangerous number of followers. Just expect him to be ignored, left out when possible and blamed whenever they can manage it.

2. Cruz = Dead man walking
His political career is over after tonight. I don't think the Republicans would even waste their time on him.

3. blaming Republicans for the recall isn't wise
if Davis was popular, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Celebrity or not, if Davis could defend his record, he wouldn't have lost a lopsided vote of confidence.

No recalls, for a while, is what I think. Now that Davis is gone, nobody is that unpopular.

4. Defending Republicans when you have 30 posts isn't wise

9. Jiminy Cricket on a crutch...
In the spirit of the New Rules, I shall endeavor to make this suggestion in as friendly, open-minded, and non-inflammatory a way as possible:

Go to:
http://www.blackboxvoting.com/

Read. Learn. Enlighten thyself.

I assure you, there is such a thing as "rigging," many people do indeed know, and it has been exposed (or our dear and revered Bev Harris would not be inclined to watch over her shoulder at every step).

Research. Homework. Do them. Now.

12. Because...
...I'm normally, insufferably short-fused, and now extremely bitter after last night's results.

Don't mind me -- but do go pore over BBV.
