Possible list of candidates for Governor of California...

This is no joke. Well, actually no matter what side of the issue you are on you have to agree the whole thing is a joke, but all these people have either officially declared as candidates and will be on the ballot, or at least filed the preliminary papers.

Arnold Schwartzenegger, He could probably pay off the state deficit with the receipts from another Terminator movie or two.

Gary Coleman, Hey A job is a job.

Larry Flynt, I guess being Governor is the only way he could get an invite to the Playboy Mansion.

Angylyn, Some bimbo that got famous by paying for her photo on billBoards all over the state. How is she not already a Senator?

Gallagher, Yes, the watermelon smashing guy. Sadly he's probably the most qualified candidate for the job.

What I really want to know is why do I not see Aaron Hall's name on this list?

I caught just the Last bit of a news item on the radio. But, I believe they said around 500 names had been filed to run.

I am so pleased with this hoopla. I'm not worried about the outcome. For one thing I'm not a Californian, for another I found that my Response Attitude Set on Politics no longer includes the entry Worry. I feel a sort of 'national immortality' and a subtle confidence that 'it will all work out'. Because of this, my greatest joy in all things public is to see things 'mix it up'. That's why I like to hear about California or Mohmmar Qadaffi: great entertainment value.

On that note, I was hoping this whole recall mess would reignite the Divide California issue, and maybe take it far enough that they would fight over where to divide it, or even how many pieces, now that the northern rural region does not call itself Northern California (this being reserved for the Bay Area) but Upstate California. That would have been real fun to watch.

I have a LIST!!

[edit: I think it was 500 people have filed for the forms to become candidates, but fewer people have actually put their names in the race.]

I can't quite put my finger on why, but something about arnold schwarzenneger going into politics makes me very uncomfortable...

Some names I was suprised to see on the list.

Bob Dole, when did he move to California? Or maybe that's not THE Bob Dole.

Probably isn't cause they don't list is experience like they do with the others.

Ex-Governor Jerry Brown. ROFL!

Mike Huffington. I knew Arriana is running, but Mike too? Didn't they used to be married or something?

Michael Jackson, nah... Couldn't be that one.

Leo Gallagher. Isn't that Gallaghers brother? The one that got sued for stealing Gallaghers act? Has that guy EVER had an original idea?

Bill Murray. How many comedians does it take to run for Governor of California...

Michael Savage, Radio Host. I wonder if he will continue his show if elected?

I thought he was born in Canada too, I guess I thought maybe he switched citizenship or something.

EDIT: But on checking he was born in Illinois. Not Canadian.
