The real history of the California recall
by Daniel Weintraub. I followed along on KSFO the whole time, and that's the way it happened. The Democrat myth is that it was all a vast conspiracy engineered by the Republican Party. In reality, it was a real grassroots effort, and the formal Republican Party had to be dragged kicking and screaming into it.
For more myths on the recall, and rebuttals, see Weintraub's other column here.
