Why Is Gov. Gavin Newsom Being Recalled? Confused Reasoning May Spell Doom For His Opponents

California Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a recall election in the fall that seems to share little resemblance to the 2003 recall of Democrat Gray Davis.
Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger saw an improbable victory in 2003 when the state was burdened with an electricity crisis and Davis failed to win the previous election by a sizable margin.
The political climate in California now, however, is much different, and lacks a candidate with the same appeal as Schwarzenegger, a Hollywood actor married to the niece of former President John F. Kennedy.
