More Than Immigration at Stake in Historic Effort to Recall AZ's Pearce - New America Media: "A bipartisan effort to recall conservative state Senator Russell Pearce, known for his tough stance on illegal immigration, could signal a shift in the political climate in Arizona, even if it doesn’t result in Pearce leaving office.
The group, Citizens for a Better Arizona, is hoping to turn in well over the 7,756 signatures needed by Tuesday, May 31, to the Secretary of State. If the required number of signatures is met, Pearce would automatically be recalled and would have to run in a special election to keep his job. That could happen in November."

And sometimes I simply muse.
