I also heard a L.A. radio station managed to get a homeless man on the ballot, as a joke of course, but he's on the ballot none the less. I've been looking for a link, but everyone wants to talk about Arnie.

All told there is over 300 candidates at this point.

I just saw on the news video of Arnie smoking a big fat doobie back in the seventies after he won an ironman competition, though he claims he gave it up once the eighties rolled around. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] Will he be smokin up the governor's mansion?

Who cares? If he does, I hope he invites me over. I woulda voted for Clinton on the SOLE FACT he had toked -- but the spineless little white trash had to come out and claim "I didn't inhale." If you failed at smoking pot, what does that say about you? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

That's one politician's lie ( Clinton's I didnt inhale) I saw right through.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not only a joker but a midnight toker. And from the vidoe Arnie has no problem inhaling.

I here the twilght song theme in my head when ever I think about the scenario. Gary Coleman could get the sympathy vote, for his lack of career.

I think Arnie will be wetting his pants upon hearing this news...

Coleman, Schwarzenegger Enter Calif. Race

LOS ANGELES - Celebrities are already in the public eye, but some are saying they want to become public servants, too.
Gary Coleman, the star of the 1980s sitcom, "Diff'rent Strokes," plunked down $3,500 in Alameda County on Wednesday and declared himself a candidate for governor of California. Current governor Gray Davis is facing a recall election Oct. 7.
The diminutive actor has been in and out of legal trouble since the popular show ended, and was recently on the E! series "Star Dates," where stars and singles mingle with mixed results.
Arnold Schwarzenegger also announced his candidacy Wednesday while taping "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (news - Y! TV)." He ended a news conference by telling reporters "I'll be back."
"The politicians are fiddling, fumbling and failing," the "Terminator" actor said. "The man that is failing the people more than anyone is Gray Davis. He is failing them terribly, and this is why he needs to be recalled and this is why I am going to run for governor."
Comedian Gallagher is also gathering signatures.
The celebrities enter a pool of eager candidates hungry to oust Davis, who has seen his popularity plummet as the state grapples with a record $38 billion budget deficit. Davis is the first California governor to face a recall and would be only the second governor nationwide to be removed from office if the effort succeeds.
Popular Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein ruled out a run, saying the election was becoming "more and more like a carnival every day."
Meanwhile, Jerry Springer has decided not to run for U.S. Senate after spending about $1 million of his own money crisscrossing Ohio the last six months, speaking at Democratic dinners and gauging support for a Senate bid. He had said he would run if he could "break through the clutter of the show" and be a formidable candidate.

Just read that Arnie is paying for his own campain. He also seems to be a bit to the left of the Republican political line, as he is in favor of tighter gun control and abortion.

That must be his European background speaking there.
