In 2003, amid Californiaโs tumultuous gubernatorial recall election, President George W. Bush visited the state and had this to say about the campaign: Nothing. โAnd Iโm looking forward, like you are, to seeing the outcome.โThe Republican National Committee kept similarly mum throughout the campaign, which ended in Democrat Gray Davisโ ouster and replacement by Hollywood super-duper-star Arnold Schwarzenegger.

One bill in particular โ a law giving driverโs licenses to undocumented immigrants โ was highly unpopular among the broader electorate and helped lead to Davisโ recall.
