Gubernatorial
I'm watching the California gubernatorial debate. (We put the Goober in gubernatorial!), Not the 90 candidate version that Leno did, but the smaller version with the 5 leading candidates.
Thank MPEG for Tivo, because I can't get through this whole thing in one sitting. My stomach isn't that strong.
I'm really not excited about any of them. Bustamante (D) is annoying, patronizing and too often allowed others to talk over him. McClintock (R) is a good, solid cracker Republican. Schwarzenegger (R) is rude, smug, ignorant, negative, an unrepentant misogynist, did I mention ignorant?, and a truly odious individual. Camejo (G) has some good things to say, but doesn't have a fiscal story that hangs together, and isn't electable. And then there's Huffington (I). Her checkered past is troubling. Her combativeness is good television, but I don't know that she could govern effectively.
So how am I voting? First: No on this fucking circus. Second: If Bustamante needs help to win, he gets my vote. If he doesn't need help, then heads it's Camejo, tails it's Huffington.
Did I mention that Schwarzenegger is vile?
