Let’s see… I spent my first 21 years in a state where there is a recall movement going (that is an utter waste of time and money) and the candidates to replace Gray Davis include:
(The more mundane candidates: **Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamente, Rep. Darryl Issa, and **Dick Riordan [ex-mayor of L.A.]. The starred candidates are the ones I’d actually vote for.)
Then… I move to Ohio where the possible senatorial candidate for the Democrats is Jerry Springer. (I’d love to see discussions on the floor of the Capitol if he had decided to run and was elected.)
Our next state move is probably going to be Minnesota… where the ex-governor was Jess “The Body” Ventura.
I think I definitely have strange politics karma.
