In Colorado & other states, Republicans see recalls as a short cut back to power

This is largely related to the origins of the recall movement in Progressivism.

As you may know, in the Republican primaries of 1912, Theodore Roosevelt campaigned for the presidency on a platform of radical constitutional reform enunciated in his "Charter of Democracy" speech, delivered in Columbus in February 1912. There and subsequently, he endorsed the full range of Progressive constitutional reforms: the initiative, referendum, and recall, including the recall of judges and judicial decisions.

It's a historical irony that these "conservatives" are making use of Progressive reforms. And an inexplicable one, unless...

To the Democrats upset in this thread, how is this any different from what y'all tried to do to Scott Walker?

That was different because Scott Walker was bad and Wisconsin was a titanium Democrat state.

Still crazy to me that there's no effort to recall the guy who admitted to basically being a huge racist in multiple different ways, which is one of the very few things I think probably could be worth an attempt. But maybe there's something I'm unclear about regarding the Virginia Constitution.

Only western "progressive" states have recalls in general.

A demonstration of the fact that Progressivism is bourgeois, and that conservatism is incapable of overcoming Progressivism, for it always incorporates the latter's advancements in to itself.
