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.
Jen at least if Springer was elected he would be one of the few people in congress who have had experience with people from all walks of life. I am actually bummed he is not running. I think he would make a pretty good congressman…I remember seeing him on a talk show (I don’t remember if it was Larry King, but one like that) a few years back he seems pretty on the ball.
it’s so true!!! what a crazy circus this is!!
