Still, the only places this will actual effect is suburban areas with smaller populations. Some crazies are going to get together and decided their mayor isn't "republican" enough and they are going to attempt to have them recalled. <br /><br />Shanda trying to appease Northeast Jackson is funny, but NE Jackson also needs to get a grip at times. Yes there are issues, but they never seem to actually want to work towards a solution. It's always excuses from that lot as well.
