The Red Pill

OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today: "California's Gov. Gray Davis, facing almost certain defeat in an Oct. 7 recall election, is hoping to whine his way to victory, the Associated Press reports:
He also called [the recall effort] 'an insult to the 8 million people who went to the polls last November and decided I should be governor.'
Of nearly 8 million people voting in California's election, Davis received around 3.5 million votes, [GOP nominee Bill] Simon got nearly 3.2 million, and the rest of the voters chose other candidates or left the gubernatorial part of the ballot blank.
Davis's vote total last year was less than the 50% he'll need to beat the recall effort. In any case, we're not sure the recall really is an insult to those who elected Davis, and it seems to us they richly deserve to be insulted."
