18. Gray Davis was a completely different issue ...

He campaigned and never once mentioned that the state would be
20 billion in the red until after he won (because of the dot com crash).
Then after he was elected Davis announced it, and people were pi$$ed.

Once the Recall was announced, ENRON dumped a bunch of money
backing Herr Gropenator, so that CA. could stop their lawsuit against Enron
over Enron's intentional brown-outs we were experiencing across the state.

I was not happy with Davis not announcing the tax shortfall prior to the election,
but I still did not vote to RECALL him.
I was pi$$ed that Herr Gropenator took office then really pi$$ed me off when
he settled with Enron for 3 cents on the dollar.
