Pardon me while I gag.

Does anyone know where the states are on this?  Is it time to start thinking about putting pressure on state legislators and governors who are most likely to want to go in this direction?  How vulnerable are they to losing their jobs?  

I just have to think that the people who live in states like Louisiana, where unemployment is high, many are uninsured and the health rankings are pretty low, might have a much different wish list on health care and be willing to vote out those who think it's just fine for them to continue to struggle and have limited options.  

The progressive netroots got her into her seat and they can hold her feet to the fire now. From the above link:

Step 1
Consider your location. Few states allow for a recall of a senator--only 18 and the District of Columbia. If you're not living in one of these states you have no constitutional rights to recall.

Step 2
Determine the grounds for recall. You'll need this information to make your case to the population but in 7 of the 18 states specific grounds are actually required. In these states, if your reasons don't measure up, you won't be allowed to proceed with the recall.

Step 3
Get signatures. You'll need a petition to get a recall election. The number of signatures is usually a percentage of the voters at the last election but this differs by state.

Step 4
Prepare for a response. At some point during the process, the senator will be notified that a petition for recall is being circulated. She will then have a chance to respond to the allegations.

Step 5
Get voters to the recall election. Once the recall election is granted, alert the community and get them out to vote. The ballot will ask whether or not the senator should be recalled and the state may hold an election at the same time to elect the next person for that office.

TIPS:

The 18 states allowing for recall are as follows: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin..

A website or a phone campaign are good ways to get your petition going. Going door-to-door is also an option although it is more time consuming than the other two. This is important since you only have a set number of days to obtain the correct number of signatures--anywhere from 30 to 180 days..

You will be fighting an uphill battle to recall a U.S. Senator. No member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States.

The trigger is out there, and there is nothing Obama and Reid can do to keep these senators from running back to it and jumping aboard.  It is a fact in the negotiation landscape and can't be ignored or wished away.

P.S. Cortes is a horrific role model to choose.  There is almost nothing redeeming about the guy, and what he did to Tenochtitlan makes you think he was from the 20th century.
