520			_a"When Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed his wonder that Californians had given him their trust Tuesday [Oct. 7, 2003], perhaps even he was not aware of how profound his statement was. The success of Mr. Schwarzenegger's antiestablishment campaign only emphasizes California's immense and abiding distaste for its own political leaders. In no other state have voters so frequently and fundamentally attacked the structure of their own government--through initiatives that shifted tax structures, set spending mandates, and limited legislative terms." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article addresses the declining respect for government in the United States as well as the new willingness among voters to reshape it, specifically in the instance of California's recall election.
