      <![CDATA[If Sam is recalled, then there will be a special election. Wouldn't it just be great if Sam resigned and then ran in the special election? Then people would be in a position to know they were electing him under the circumstances. Then, if he wins, the matter is over. But, until the people get to weigh in, knowing the facts as they are now, this will continue to be an issue. If he is recalled, Sam will have lost all of his political capitol at that point. If Sam resigned and ran again, he might be able to maintain some respect.

      <![CDATA[He was a lousy Mayor and we were glad to be rid of him and now we are supposed care what he thinks?! He supported the nice, but incredibly inept Dozono, which just shows Potter's continuing lameness. So now gets his chance for revenge as do all of the other Dozono supporters, who will be the majority of signers of this embarassing recall. I'll be so glad when this crap is over with. It is just bringing out the worst in everyone except, oddly, Adams, who seems to have balls of steel to face all that he has had to deal with.

      <![CDATA[The process of renaming a street for Chavez, although how it was carried out was essentially an act of domestic terrorism by a minority group, is not a reason to recall the mayor.<br>
<br>
Besides, Tom Potter left one of the Interstate Ave. renaming hearings, calling himself "irrelevant."  IMO, that makes his support of the recall also irrelevant.

      <![CDATA[I agree that there's not been enough reporting done yet to definitely call these "push polls," so I've stricken that. Also: of course Potter was never Adams' boss in any official sense, so I've changed that to colleague.

      <![CDATA[Can we stop with the trope about the push poll?  Perhaps Adams IS running a push poll, but we don't know because the only "evidence" is an anonymous story of something that is NOT a push poll.  I don't really support Adams, but what the guy at Jack Bogdanski's described appears to be message testing, not push poll.<br>
<br>
see Kari Chishom's excellent explanation here:<br>
<a href="http://bojack.org/2009/07/is_mayor_creepy_running_a_reca.html#comment-97226" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://bojack.org/2009/07/is_mayor_creepy_&hellip;</a><br>

It feels like some people's white hot hate is blinding their sense of logic.
