Seventeen states beside California currently allow
for recalls of state leaders but none have major
campaigns brewing right now, the National
Association of Secretaries of State said.

However, there is talk in Nevada of a petition drive
to recall GOP Gov. Kenny Guinn, who took the
state Legislature to court in his successful push
for new business taxes.

Short-lived recall drives that never make it to the
ballot are common, said Mary Kiffmeyer,
Minnesota's secretary of state. ``You have the
threat of one, talk of one, maybe take a first
step,'' she said.

In her state, a petition to recall former Minn. Gov.
Jesse Ventura made it to the courts in 1999,
where the state's chief justice ruled the governor
didn't meet the criteria for malfeasance. In 1987,
a petition drive in Arizona sought to recall former
Gov. Evan Meacham. He was impeached first.
