You could quite possibly be the first to give him this nickname. I imagine it would stick if he wins.

[Ummmmm Ok]

The real choice would probably be: Jerry Brown (Independent) - Oakland Mayor, Ex-Governor, Ex-State Democratic Chairman & Attorney.

But I would like to see: Steve Young (Independent) TOUCHDOWN and the Californians have gotten rid of the ozone!!!!

[Usually Lurkin]

I saw the Governator nick on a Yahoo! news page early this morning. It is a great one. I'd vote for him to run my state. Toss up between him and Gary Coleman, though. I'd have to see a debate between the two first (or a mud wrestling match).

Besides 'Steve Young', other great names on the list are 'Bill Murray' and 'Micheal Jackson'. But I don't think any of them are the famous people. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Anyone know the Savage person? I think I've heard the radio show before, but don't really know what he's all about or how much notoriety he might be bringing to the race.

Expensive energy guru Grey Davis: You are about to be Terminated! I vote for Arnold!

I must confess that was me. Can you imagine if he won, meetings with his appointees... and seeing him on TV being serious. The laughter alone generated from that would be enough to stop the government down for a couple of months. Then they would be under budget... problem solved.

I voted for Coleman, too. The question was "Who do you want to see occupy the office of governor of California?" I want to see that.

I just realized that both Arrianna and Mike Huffington are running. They were married. They got a divorce when Mike came out of the closet. Pretty odd.

She said earlier that only one of them would be running. You know . . for the kids.

U2, I can't believe you said 'they would be under the budget.' In a post about Gary Coleman. Man that's funny. Where's the budget? Second shelf?
