Nearly four dozen gubernatorial wannabes are listed on the Sept. 14 recall ballot, and only a handful of them are really running. But the incumbent’s name is not included because he’s not allowed to replace himself if recalled.Newsom and his political strategists want supporters to use only half their ballots and leave the rest blank.

Those who did show up to compete made no big mistakes, writes columnist George Skelton.
