1. Don't know if they can
But they sure ought-he's a petty, disgusting individual.

2. recalls have to be approved by the MN SC
and I'm afraid we really don't have a "colorable" cause of action against Coleman just yet.

Pawlenty, on the other hand, keeps digging himself a deeper and deeper hole with each passing day with his ties to sleazy telecom companies.

5. I stand slightly corrected
ok, apparently we can't go after Coleman at all because he's in federal office. However, what I heard was that any recall efforts in Minnesota have to be approved by the state supreme court first.

Let's get Gov. Timmy in the crosshairs!

6. Wouldn't that be a riot - recall Bush's boy Timmy
There are actually more grounds for a Pawlenty recall than Davis.

3. I don't think that you can recall someone elected to federal office...
But I belive that MN could recall Pawlenty...

7. We should "recall" every republican gov
in the states that require no reason.. just like they are doing here.. At least make them see how dangerous this little "tool" is..

and we have learned many times, govs are important when it comes to appointing to fill a senate vacancy and for state judges and environmental commissions..

They let the genie out...I say let's DO it :evilgrin:
