Yah, but you can say with all honesty that you ran for governor in the state of California in the 2003 recall election...Yah really don't have to say "recall" unless some one asks.

"James M. Knox" wrote in message ... Jim Weir wrote in : You could put the Mt. Hale telescope INSIDE the Mt. Palomar telescope and STILL not see my chances for winning. Yeah, but go back and re-read "The Mouse That Roared". Then realize that you just *might* win, and be afraid... be very afraid. Or the movie "The Candidate" (the one with Robert Redford) |

Jim
What you need is getting some name recoginization. For example, can you land in the Rose Bowl. The publicity would be worth a million dollars when the media got their teeth into it. You might have to dissasemble the A/C to get out but........ There are other things you can do to get in the paper or on TV. Think out of the box. Your 30 second sound bite woud be that you accomlished the impossible (landing in Rose Bowl) and you will do the same with California. If I were back in CA I'd join your team. Arnold signed up Buffett and you need some old gray foxes like BOb and me to even the playing field. Go gett'em tiger Big John On Wed, 13 Aug 2003 19:02:26 -0700, Jim Weir wrote: Heh.

Hiram Johnson was just such a governor of California, back in the 19teens.
