So it’s Ah-nohld vs. Arnold (Drummond) in the race-to-replace our current Governor. Good lord, is this what it means to be a Californian? Yes, I’ve been asked whether I’ll soon be throwing my hat into the proverbial ring. No. I declared–back in 1988–that I would run for president in 2024. I stand behind that. No need to rush my leap to political greatness.
I know full well that Southern California and Northern California should be two different states. Anyone who lives here should admit as much.
I live in the state of SoCal, in which voting is not a strong suit.
Let’s see… there’s the tiny-margin defeat of the SAG-AFTRA merger which–again–passed with no problems in every other state and was voted down largely by Hollywood voters. There’s the “free Hollywood” campaign for which many, many residents begged and pleaded publically… and then voted down once behind the privacy curtain. And, while I joke about the Dueling Arnolds, I must say that any campaign that includes the community’s favorite “you-gotta-be-kidding-me” girl Angelyne has to show up on anyone’s radar screen as a laughing stock.
Hm.
Checking my options…
I vote “no.”
