Flynt for governor?

2003-08-01 17:47:23.805306+00 by Dan Lyke 12 comments

Oh fudge. Just when I was sure I was going to vote against the recall because I think recalls are stupid and as bad as Davis may be, the only possible alternative I could imagine supporting is Frank Riordan and it'd be a bad thing for his career to win this election because it wouldn't give him a mandate and you'd have to be a miracle worker to come out of the next few years in California without a majority electing you looking at all good, when I learn that Hustler's Larry Flynt wants to replace Davis.

Now this is an election where anyone can win. Those who vote to remove Davis from office will be able to vote for one of the possible replacements, and the replacement candidate who gets the most votes is in. The campaign season is short enough, and the big names are staying far enough away (except perhaps for Ahhhnuld) that there'll be a bunch of small candidates all beating it out, and someone could win with 10 or 20% of the voter turnout.

Flynt couldn't get elected in a regular election, but might in this one. And that could be a really good thing for California. Hmmmmmm...

If Arnold wins, do think someone could arrange a cage match with Minnesota's Governor?

A reader named George informs me that no matter what the vote on the recall we'll still be able to cast a vote for the replacement. This gives me heart; I can now vote my conscience in both places.

He's up front and direct.. I even like his 'amnesty and seal the border' idea.. not practical, but sounds good.

I kind of hope he wins. I'd like to see what happens. Kind of like watching a wreck in a car race...
