Gary Coleman on California ballot

(CNN) -- Gary Coleman, child star of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," has placed his name among a host of other celebrities in the running for California governor.

Coleman's candidacy was engineered by the East Bay Express, an Oakland-area newspaper, which paid his $3,500 filing fee, collected the necessary petition signatures and is promoting his candidacy in protest of the scheduled vote aimed at recalling Gov. Gray Davis.

Bringing back bad memories James?

I just got excited when I saw "I live in Pittsburgh" ... then I realized it was you :P

Well, Minnesota got Jessie Ventura a little while ago, a year or two after I moved from Minneapolis, but he turned out to be not bad!

[brain]

I don't think Mr Ventura could be governor of California. We're one of the largest economies in the world. Just look at how one dumb governor hurt us real bad.

[ski]

Would you go as far as saying that the any of current candidates would be better than this one bad governor?

[revil]

We should get Apex in there too!

[Jenny]

:heh: I 2nd a vote for Apex!! hahaha

and thank God I live in Kansas! haha

Jenny turns 5000 next post! EEEEEE!

If anyone can justify why G. Davis is a bad govenor without any name-calling (i.e. "He's a moron/idiot/dumbass, etc..."), I'm willing to listen.

I mean, was there anything he could've done to avoid:
1) the energy crisis
2) the dot.com bust
3) unemployment b/c of 2)
4) growing deficit b/c of all of the above

I honestly don't know how anyone can tackle those problems without someone getting the shaft. (of course, ultimately, it'll be the tax payer... :rolleyes: )

Don't hate just because she'll blow away a Camaro. :hihi:

[mcs328]

And Springer decided against running...so dodged that bullet.
I heard you need 3500 bucks and 65 signatures and you too can run.

[ski]

yep, our ex-governor Tom Ridge is now the head of homeland security, and founder of the color codes of security :P I dunno, when I hear the name "Tom Ridge" that just elicits the thought of a strong minded politician. Someone with the name "Doug Ghoul" just wouldn't make it, and this is my belief that you should vote on whose name sounds the best (that's why I picked "Bush" over "Dukakis" in '88 in kindergarten :stupid: )

...
Yeah if he didn't increase the state spending and expand the government.

Put it this way, I would vote for Gary Coleman just to get Gay Davis out of there.

Oh yeah and he lied about the state deficit ($12 billion my a$$) last year so he could get elected and bring California the junk. :angry:

[DaFunkyUnit]

basically, California needs someone who has a strong will, a pure heart, and a born leader to bail them out of trouble.


...so, who's on the ballot again? ;)
