What does voting “no” have to do with it? What are you trying to say - only
those who vote “yes” get to vote for the replacement, or do you really like to
see another $40 million spent on a second election to resolve the recall if it
is a “yes”? Either option makes utterly no sense to me. There is no vote for
governor until the current one is actually recalled, so no matter if you vote
yes or no, your vote for a new governor is hypothetical.

Arnold wins the election. The Democrats start an immediate recall movement
based on Arnold’s sexual misdeeds as charges are filed against him. Liberals
start closing in on the required number of signatures. Maria convinces
Arnold to switch parties! Democrats embrace him and suddenly decide all the
charges are false (tossing recall forms in trash). The Republicans Fatal
Attraction ends, fish the forms out of the trash, and take up the recall
procedure, suddenly deciding that the charges are true. Record number of
signatures acquired as virtually every liberal and conservative sign the
recall, though in entirely separate time frames. Arnold is about to be
declared not guilty, when he gooses the female judge. The Porn Starlet
starts a unique campaign fund drive, that is the most honest in its approach
ever (decorum prevents me from describing it g). She raises record funds
and wins with by an overwheleming margin as she runs adds on all stations
24/7 the last week of the campaign. She dies from venereal diseases before
she can take office and her newly appointed Lieutenant Governor (Bustamente
quiting to work for the Indian Casinos) succeeds: Jerry Brown becomes
Governor Moonbeam again!!! The entire nation prays to God for an earthquake.
Unfortunately, Bruce (Hiho silver, away!) was on duty, pulled the moon too
close, created massive tidal forces, fractured the San Andreas to the core,
and the rest of the country slid under the waves. Cue the Valkyries as
Ragnorak ensues...

Hmmm... It has intringe, sex, betrayal, sex, gambling, sex, sex, opera, sex,
religion, sex, tragedy, sex, disaster, sex, and sex. Won’t fly-- needs a car
chase and more sex:-)

More sex!?! She’ll be doing it (literally “it”) on Pay-Per-View. 24/7!
Oh alright, a wild orgy with the Valkyries and a few loose non-christian dieties
spontaneously breaks out to bombastic Wagnerian overtures sung by Elmer Fudd,
“Kill the Wiberal, Kill the Wiberal...”
As to the other, hmmmm, you’re right. Arnold breaks out of jail, and arms
himself to the teeth, and pursues Governor Moonbeam. A wild chase ensues as
Moonbeam pushes his beat-up ‘78 Toyota Tercel uphill into the Sierra’s while
Arnold lumbers ponderously in pursuit, riddling the car with bullets and pausing
to fondle the odd bum (in the english sense of the word) along the way. A wild
fire fight breaks out in Yosemite with Arnold unleashing his twin vulcan machine
guns while Moonbeam snaps off telling critcism about destroying natural wonders.
Arnold lobs a pocket nuke in response and makes it Quarter-Dome. They ski down
the east side through Mammoth, Arnie wasting the landscape with 20mm handcannons
until they reach the lift station. Moonbeam rents a bike and doubles back
through the Tioga pass. Arnold hijacks a truck, and finds out that it can
barely make it up the steep incline, Jerry Brown getting a huge lead. Arnie
finally catches up to Moonbeam just south of San Francisco. Jerry pauses left
of the San Andreas fault, Arnold to the right. Arnold carefully lines up his
shot, but pauses as he sees a shadowy figure lurking in the background. The
delay allows Moonbeam to complete his transcendental meditation...and his
prayers are answered! The Valar throw down their overlordship and call upon the
One who breaks the world and North America east of the fault is swallowed by the
waves. Arnie loses his balance and totters on the brink. The shadowy figure
walks magestically by Brown, and reaches out a hand to Arnold. To push or to
rescue....?
With wonder and amazement on his face, Arnold shouts in terror, “No! Not Willie
Brown!” Willie says, “Y’all started this recall nonsense to get me out as
Speaker of the legislature, now I’m finishing it!” He pushes Arnold over the
brink. A wailing cry drifts up, “Precioussssssssssssssss! Oh, and I’ll be
ba...” Splat! Roll credits.
It could only happen in Hollywood! :-)
