Not half as sneaky as a lot of the males of the species who voted for him!

personally I think Patty should stand for governor.

Opinion from the "hanging chad" state: with what you got running for guv in
your state, Dave, I'd recommend Cap'n Pine Cone, well-known to this ng as a
"no-nonsense" champion of the outlaw fringe element.......I'd vote for him
if we still lived in Golden State.

I'd beat up those fools and idiots who don't believe in feline rights.
I'd make sure that all cats in the golden state (whatever that is) are
taken care of. I'd make sure that I have all the snacks and toys I
want. I'd be the fat cat around there. I'm rough, tough, and don't
take no guff.

Cap'n Pine Cone esq. thinking.....

Can we expect to see you on the GSN's "Who wants to be Governor of
California, The Debating Game" ?

Well, if Schwarzeneger were a Democrat, I might even vote for him!
(Assuming the recall actually goes through - I think a lot of people who
signed that petition were confused.)

Yes, but do we have to pay $29.95/month to vote, and will our vote
automatically renew after a month if we don't cancel our vote prior?

LOL.. *I'd* vote for you, only because the press conferences and press
releases would be so dang fun!!!!

Dave, you are the only reason I would move to California and vote.
Given the list of losers running for governor of your state, I wouldn't
want to live there on a bet.

Neither would many of us stuck with living here!

Tell you what, Dave - if you were running, I'd vote for you. Better
you than Ah-nold, or Gary Coleman, or .....

Personally, I think it's too bad Peter Uberoth doesn't have a chance.
Remember the 1984 Olympics?

GARY COLEMAN?????? I missed THAT one! (This "recall" business bids
fair to be an even greater circus then the 2000 presidential election!)

Yep. One thing I find really funny is that, at the beginning, no
Democrats were going to run. When the list of 135 candidates was
published in my newspaper, there were something like 36 Republicans, 43
Independents, a handful of people from minor parties - and 50 Democrats!

As a Californian, the whole thing horrifies me, and I really wish Peter
Uberoth would be elected. As somebody with a twisted sense of humor,
I'm getting a big kick out of the whole thing. I fully expect Arnold to
be elected, but who knows?

Well, Minnesota had a professional wrestler as governor (having seen a
couple of his films, I don't REALLY consider Schwartzeneger an "actor"),
so he might actually suprise us. (If only the whole process didn't seem
to be unofficially re-writing the state constitution!)
