A Push And A Pull And This Land Is Ours

California’s plan to replace Florida as the butt of all electoral jokes continues apace. The current list of candidates includes a porn star, a porn mogul, small actors, large actors, and a comedian that no-one outside of America knows about. The only two people in California who won’t be in the running for Governor, it seems, are Gary Davis (he’s not allowed to participate in the recall), and Darrell Issa, the man responsible for turning the state into a laughing stock in the first place. He’s dropped out because he knows he’d get destroyed by Schwarzenegger. Hohoho.

The really funny thing is that this could be a never-ending source of amusement. The Democrats have already floated the possibility of recalling the recaller. All you need is 1.3 million signatures. Both sides have enough money to keep going for years, although at a cost to the state of $35m for each election, California may run out of money before too long…

Al Gore gives another of his President-in-Exile speeches. Florida still has a little while to go before it's forgiven, you know…
