Eric for Governor?
California’s ridiculous recall election is just a bit over two months away. The recall consists of two questions. The first is whether Gray Davis should be recalled. The second is if he’s recalled, who should replace him?
To get on the list for the second question, all anyone needs is 65 signatures and $3500. That’s easy. I could do that and be one of the few Democrats on the ballot. That alone might be enough to win. Eric for Governor, anyone? In an election with such absurdly low filing requirements and no restriction on the number of candidates, anyone could win.

Yeah, I have to confess I’ve thought the decision not to have anyone else on the ballot was a questionable one for the Democrats. Governor Schwarzenegger may be imminent :-).

Better by far than Governor Issa.
If the recall does succeed, I’m hoping the absence of Democrats on the ballot will hand the plurality to the Greens. At the very least, that would handily thwart the folks who organized this mess.

I wish I was still a California resident so I could nominate you…

DUDE. I’d totally vote for you.
And I think by then I’ll be a California resident!
