Everybody gets to vote

The federal court in San Diego struck down the California requirement that voters must vote on the recall question in order to qualify to vote on the question of who should replace the governor, if he is recalled. At the moment I see this as no big deal. I can't imagine that it gives an advantage to one side or the other. If someone is out there who is dying to skip the recall question but vote on the replacement, please call me. I want to know more about who that would be and why they would want to do it.
