Would you vote for Arnie?

I think this whole recall thing is a joke. I can't believe the cast of characters who have filed to run against Gray Davis. Besides people such as Larry Flynt and Angelyne, Gary Coleman (yes, the actor from "Different Strokes") has filed, and I believe some porn star has as well. I read that there are about 158 people so far who have filed to be candidates. No wonder why Davis says this is an insult to voters. I agree with him. I don't even think that most of the candidates take this seriously.

I'm moving to California and voting for Mary Carey ("Playboy's Totally Busted"). I'd like to join her cabinet......I wouldn't mind a position below her.

Is she the leggy brunette with the magical tongue Boodi? :)

[Boodikka]

Paul, she's the uninhibited and rather zaftig blonde from "Playboy's Totally Busted".......young, dumb and full of _____. Can you see her running your state, Paul?

"Not too bright...I like that in a" woman :)
Hey Boodi, even if we get screwed by her being governor it might actually feel gooood :D
By the way, you prefer her to the brunette?

Hey Boodi, Paul, please don't get so political :)

Of course I started this thread for the trivia value... I don't know shit of California politics (thanks to both Bernie and NickNack for understanding this). Still, I was intrigued about what were the real chances of these "star" candidates. Is there any poll -I don't know if it's the right word- already made about this? You know, as in "70% of Californians would vote for Gary Coleman" :-?

Nano,

Ah-nuld stands a very good chance of winning the recall election. The rest don't have a snowballs chance in hell. :roll:

Unless the Democrats can keep Gray Davis in office, or substitute Cruz Bustamante (Lieutenant governor). as an alternative choice...

Ah-nuld is the the victor on sheer name recognition and the anti-politician feeling in the air. The fact that he's never held any political office dosn't seem to matter. If he can keep on dodging the tough questions for 60 days...HE CAN WIN!!!!

Gary Coleman is just using this as a chance to get back on TV. No one would actually hire him as an actor....well better this than shooting someone, right? :P

So you don't think that Larry Flynt has a chance to win the election? Or Angelyne? Or that porn star? You're kidding.

I want Davis to stay in office. I plan to vote against the recall.

I believe you. And I wouldn't be surprised if he does win the election. People love actors in politics. Look at Ronald Reagan.

Well, how many of these candidates are actually taking this seriously?

:evil:

Thanks, Marky. Certainly, Gary Coleman sounds like an odd choice. Now, if Dana Plato was still alive... I wouldn't minded to have voted for her. But life's unfair! :cry:
Maybe Gary should try a reality show. They could do one with out-of-employment actors... say, OJ Simpson, Gary, Molly Ringwald and some others living in the same cubicle. That way people could vote for them and they would get paid! Also they could bitch about their younger-luckier competition. Imagine Di Ross ditching Liza in public! That could make a better rating than many TV shows! :)

[paul]

Well, I'll be voting no on the recall. On the second half of it in case the recall goes through, I'll vote for Gary. I think it would be poetic justice if he won :lol:

[SandraDee]

Dana Plato dead? When did that happen? (you can tell I dont read the papers can't you?)

[SandraDee]

Has she gone to Plato's Retreat? (sorry, poor taste I know).

Dana Plato died at least three years ago. She died of a drug overdose.

It is. By the way, the exact date of her death is May 8, 1999.
