The Origins Of The Recall
Tom Fudge, host of "These Days" on KPBS starts off this two-hour collaboration broadcast talking about the origins of the movement to recall Gray Davis from office. Joining Tom is Daryl Issa, Republican congressman who funded the campaign to put the recall on the October 7th ballot. He was also a candidate for Governor but dropped out early on in the race.
California Democrats And The Recall
The Democrats in California occupy both houses of the state legislature and the governor's seat. Given the political power of the Democrats, Latinos and Labor in California, how have they allowed their dominance to become so threatened by this recall election and gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger? Larry talks with Antonio Villaraigosa, City Councilmember for Los Angeles' 14th District, and Dave Sickler of the State Building and Construction Trades Council.
Third Party Candidates and the Recall
Michael Krasny of "Forum" at KQED in San Francisco discusses third party candidates and the Recall election.
