It's been mentioned recently that Lance Armstrong had expressed an interest in running for governor of Texas. There was some question as to whether he was left-wing or right-wing, although I believe it was put forward that his girlfriend, Sheryl Crow, is very left-wing.
Turns out he could be the perfect candidate. Today on OLN it turns out he's a Democrat! "Left of center, against the war in Iraq, and pro-choice" were the notable comments.
I think the UK Times Online also had an article about this recently.
