...yet the Republicans ignored it and picked the actor anyway.

How so?..there was no vetting of candidates

Hell, man, I know you can read.

All you had to do was read any of Arnold Schwarzenegger's early interiews on screwing and doing drugs.

If there was no vetting and no plan prior to kicking up that recall tishstorm, then it's the republicans screw-up to own. It's simply another display of lousy partisan judgement; jumping into bed with B actors.

Republicans were THE driving force for the recall. Darryl Issa and a couple others funded it.

Don't cry to me about the result of republican political maneuvers.
