2003 CA recall election was shit show for sure. It was damn shit show funny when every turds out there were running. Funniest one was when back then Lt Governor Bustamante ran for a recall election. That was dumbest crap I've seen. It was for sure dumber than Larry Flint and Gary Coleman running. At least they finished top 10th.


Bustamante had an apparently icy relationship with Governor Davis, a fellow Democrat, during his tenure. They reportedly had not talked in months before the recall election approached. Bustamante's decision to run in the recall election was controversial, as many supporters of Governor Davis had urged prominent Democrats not to run, in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the event. During the recall election, Bustamante ran on a platform slogan of "No on Recall, Yes on Bustamante,"[3][4] indicating he opposed the recall.
