It appears they have 2x the required number of signatures, which should withstand challenges.  And it was entirely a grassroots effort, helped along by the usual arrogance of our "betters".

This should serve a warning to DC.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Obviously, their district gerrymandering is insufficiently protective.

Watch for Colorado to address this soon.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."

Gun grabbers have no reMorse  :P
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

So just a petition gets rid of a guy? It doesn't led to an election?

No, the petition sets off the election.

It's just a big deal the petition number was reached, and surpassed so easily.
I promise not to duck.

I wonder how many of the people deriding this recall effort applauded the Walker recall here in WI?

If it's part of state law, then I have no problem with it.  The only problem I had with the Walker recall was the typical shenanigans (outright fraud, intimidation, etc.) that the left routinely uses as part and parcel of any election effort.

However, even with all that Walker was able to to not only beat the recall, but increased his margin of victory from the previous election.  Again, exposing the astroturf of the left's effort.

We shall see how this plays out.  My understanding of the reason Colorado went "blue" this last election is because there were several races that had Tea Party/Libertarian candidates that split the vote with Republicans allowing Democrats (especially the Governor) to win with less than a plurality.

I love how the internet can translate any language into anything. It makes me feel better about not having learned Morse code, or a foreign language.

Here's hoping the recall election goes as well as the petition drive.
