As I mentioned earlier, I didn't vote for Arnold, but voted for the recall. this most definitely was democracy in action, since Arnold garnered more votes than Davis did against the recall, he actually can claim a mandate. Now as for Arnold coming in do all sorts of damage, I don't think that will happen, the legislature is still controlled by democrats (I prefer a split government, usually less bills, more compromise) hopefully his charisma and leadership skills will enable him to work with the legislature and maybe foster some compromising on both sides . . .
