Oh man.

Just had a horrible thought. More horrible than Arnold being our next governor.

Local stations might pre-empt Gilmore Girls tomorrow for race coverage.

This, of course, would be WRONG, dude!

Because ya know what? The results of this inanity will be the same if Joe Newsreader reads off new numbers every time another precinct reports in or not. I do not have to follow it minute by minute to give it stupidity *cough* I mean, validity. I can catch it on the ten o'clock news.

Does this show a severe lack of priorities? Hell no! The California recall election is exactly where it should be in my book. Behind an hour-long show of fictional characters.

Now before you yell at me for shirking my civic duty, I'm gonna vote. I always vote.

Not that I have the inclination to debate you on this, but IIRC, Arnold does have a rather impressive degree in economics, which IMHO is better than the typical degree in Law in this case where the economy of the state is the problem. I guess we'll see either way, but I won't miss Grey Davis at all.

Heh. Yeah. For me, debating politics ranks right up there with having my teeth drilled.

But he has no experience! And failed businesses! *g*

Well, like somebody said, the second Arnold gets elected there'll be a recall push for him - and so it'll keep going and going and meanwhile California's going to the dogs.

Wienerdogs? :) Ooooh! You should run if there's another recall election!

Good point. I am surprised that the Gov. and Lt. Gov. haven't made a big push for reforms since the recall was announced.
