California Supreme Court: The Recall Is On

HeadlineAug 08, 2003

The California Supreme Court agreed yesterday to allow the gubernatorial recall to go forward on October 7.

In other recall news, Representative Darrell Issa announced he would drop out. Issa is the man who spent nearly $3 million to make the recall happen. His announcement, made at a tearful press conference, came following Arnold Schwarzenegger’s decision to run.

Two top elected Democrats are now running: Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and state insurance commissioner John Garamendi. Former Major League Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth also announced his candidacy papers. A total of 500 people have now taken out papers to run.
