Recall Spreads to Nevada

Is this the beginning of a domino effect? A recall effort is underway in Nevada against Republican Governor Kenny Guinn.

Emboldened by recall efforts in California, a group of Nevada conservatives upset about the largest tax increase in state history began recall proceedings Wednesday against the popular Republican governor.

The group filed a notice of intent with the Nevada Secretary of State's Office in Las Vegas to seek a recall election against Gov. Kenny Guinn. Organizers have 90 days to collect 128,109 signatures, or 25 percent of those who cast ballots in the 2002 general election.

If this means Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman can run for Governor sooner, we're all for it. Doubtful, though, as state Democratic leaders are calling the recall "stupid" and say they'd be surprised if any Democrats signed the petition.
