		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Me&lt;/strong&gt; Usually a copy editor does, but in this case because it was breaking news I did. If my byline is on top of the article, I stand by it.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;This recall attempt is nothing but a political move designed to take back the House; nothing more nothing less. I don&#039;t think Mr. Drolet will win in court. I have been to a few clarity hearings, although they have only been for township supervisors. You talk about the &quot;process is what it is&quot; -although I disagree - then why not follow the process? With all the out-of-state-money coming in why don&#039;t you or Mr. Drolet just hire someone who can write clearly and resubmit the language instead of shopping for judges? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The recalls try to &quot;obstruct a democratic right?&quot; When we had the higher&#160; voter turnout in November you could not hold onto the House, so when significantly fewer people are paying attention and voter turnout is extremely low you are going to try and undo the election. I see recalls being used for the officeholder doing something illegal or immoral while in office or for complete incompetence, not for making a decision you disagree with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where do you get I or we are &quot;gloating&quot; over anything, or where &quot;I declare any victory?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Who writes these headlines&lt;/strong&gt; Stymied?&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;... bites the dust&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The process is what it is - and while I may have concerns about the current value of the recalls, at least for reps., and when compared to what a ballot initiative could accomplish for similar money, I don&#039;t have concerns that Leon will win in court, or that the recall process is anything other than a democratic right that you gloat over the obstruction of. It&#039;s kind of funny to watch you folks declare premature victories.&#160; This was all very predictable to this point.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
