Your next CA Gov.
 
Arnold officially threw his Austrian hat in the ring for the suddenly popular California Gov. job listing.

This is just the latest interesting name to enter the fray.

You're in the booth and you have just one vote---who do you choose???

Gary Coleman
The onetime Diff'rent Strokes star stood on a platform on Wednesday of balancing the state's budget, legalizing gay marriage, decriminalizing marijuana, "restor[ing] sanity to California politics" and "drill[ing] for oil in every national park."

Larry Flynt
The 60-year-old magazine mogul declared his candidacy Monday, portraying himself as the "smut-peddler who cares." He told reporters he favored legalizing slot machines and prostitution, and granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. On the first full day of his campaign, Flynt's Hustler magazine called on Americans on Tuesday to ask the "entity of [their] choice" to strike down Fox News Channel star Bill


Mary Carey
The 22-year-old adult film star of Hot Showers 6, among other titles, stumped for signatures outside Los Angeles City Hall Tuesday, City News Service said. Per the wire service, Carey favors a tax on breast-implant procedures and a "porno-for-pistols" program, whereby gun owners would be encouraged to trade in their weapons for porno movies. Angelyne referred to Carey's prospective campaign as "utter nonsense."

That sounds like a serious answer to me! :)

Obviously, it's a serious topic since it is the highest post in one of the largest states in the country....however, I'm fascinated at what a circus this could become.

Anyone with enough signatures and enough cash is now in the mix. This could be a great civics lesson...and one of the biggest political jokes in recent memory. Now that Springer isn't running, I guess this is our comedy.

Gorgo 08-06-2003 07:59 PM

This would only be stranger if it were a fictional book.

We need to nominate Capt. Kirk, Spock, maybe Frodo and Gandalf too . . . or anyone who can defeat The Terminator, cause he'll be back . . .

debaser 08-07-2003 07:49 AM

This is all a plot to distract Californians while we come up with a way to sink their fucking state into the ocean....

Rodney 08-07-2003 03:33 PM

I'm a Californian and a liberal, and I'm currently of the "State government's so screwed up we should just let it drive itself off a cliff and build something new from the pieces" school. So I'm all in favor of Larry Flynt for governor. I don't want people mad at their government. I want them _ashamed_ of it. Only then will they wake up and ask for real change.

blackdas 08-07-2003 04:57 PM

No Arnie? :(

I couldn't be more honored to concur with these two sentences if I tried.

Kudos Rodney. Simpler and truer words I have not experienced in my entire life.

can only shoot yourself in the foot so many times before it disables you.

Bring back Regan!!!

Conclamo Ludus 08-08-2003 12:12 PM

What you talkin' bout Willis? Go Ahnuld!

mikecc 08-08-2003 03:26 PM

Arnold is so simple that I think he might do things right for us Californians. Take the scandel out of politics and bring my F***ing electric bill back to normal again

Nizzle 08-08-2003 04:02 PM

If Arnold is elected, I'm moving to Canada. The guy is completely insane. No one even knows what his politics or views are other than the vague "moderate conservative" title the media has tossed around, based on some old, even more vague quotes from him in the past.

The fact of the re-election bothers me even more. Another fine example of Republicans buyiing their way into office. Davis may be no peach, but he hasn't done anything wrong *since* he was legitimately re-elected by the people.

Shagg 08-08-2003 05:39 PM

Talk about buying their way into office? How about the fact that Davis spent more money than any Republican on the Republican primary.

omnigod 08-08-2003 06:22 PM

if i lived in cali i would vote for Arn. Im impressed with the little he has said so far

shalafi 08-08-2003 06:49 PM

how bout a write-in campaign for hal?

TaLoN 08-08-2003 07:06 PM

any man would be proud to have arnold as their governer. if you
wouldn't be then im sorry you are not a man

rogue49 08-08-2003 07:37 PM

Actually I do like,
Arianna Huffington

Despite having been married to that idiot and sometimes liking the limelight,
she does have a good head on her shoulders.

Shagg 08-08-2003 07:48 PM

Main thing I remember about Arianna is her tv spot that conveyed the message of "if you drive a SUV, you support terrorism."

Shades 08-22-2003 10:47 AM

And the fact that she is usually driven around in a limo, which are less fuel efficient than SUVs. But hey, don't let a little thing like reality get in the way of making yourself feel less guilty about being very rich.
