After the success of the Colorado recall elections, it's inspired people here to try the same.

Good for them. Hope they have success.

Obviously a state with 38 million people is going to have a lot of dissenting views from the prevailing orthodoxy. Romney got his second-highest # of votes there, trailing only Texas. But the dissenters in CA are badly outnumbered, and I would be very surprised if any of these recall efforts are successful. Good on them for trying, but I'll believe it when I see it.

The fall of California over the past ~50 years has been a tragedy most directly for the people who live there, but really for the entire country, as well. Fixing it will be the work of another 40 years, minimum. In the meantime, it is a highly negative/destructive place to live or raise a family. Only those who (1.) come from a Third-World environment where conditions are even worse, (2.) are independently wealthy, or (3.) are willing -- for ideological or other unusual reasons -- to exist under a government that is both ultra-dysfunctional and implacably hostile to private enterprise and the nuclear family should consider it as a place to work or settle down.

New California Amendment, "recalls will only be successful if the voting percentage taking part in the recall attempt is greater than 75% of the voting percentage that took part in the recall target's last election".
