This mess is no laughing matter for Californians... This is about fairness and democracy. The structure of the recall process is fundamentally flawed... The absurdly low threshold for getting on the ballot -- 65 valid signatures and a $3,500 filing fee -- is an invitation to a freak show. And what a freak show it is. It's a sad but telling commentary on the state of California politics that actor Arnold Schwarzenegger considers the "Tonight Show" an appropriate forum to explain his decision on whether to enter the race.
