Californians last night voted by a 54 to 46 percent margin to recall Gov. Gray Davis just 11 months into his second term and overwhelmingly elect Republican actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace him.

Davis is the first California governor to be recalled and only the second in the nation’s history after North Dakota’s Lynn Frazier in 1921.

Schwarzenegger easily won the vote to replace Davis with 48 percent. Democratic Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante finished second with 32 percent. We’ll have on the recall in a few minutes.
