I still think we need someone a bit more high profile to take on Arnold Schwarzenegger and show him the door. I'm sorry, but nobody who's running has that kind of standing. Not Angelides, not Westly, not Lockyear. Nobody stands out as a "one to watch" candidate. They strike me as "The Three Dwarves."
When I mentioned a "Draft Boxer" movement as having potential, it was interesting...there were a few people who saw things my way, but the strongest voices were saying "we need her in the Senate." I suppose they're right...she is damn good there.
OK, question: if not Boxer, whom? Who has the name recognition and the charisma to take Ah-nold on? I'd like to hear some suggestions. I don't just mean movie stars, TV Talk Show hosts or other people who are famous for being famous. We need someone who can get people excited about the election, someone who's got ideas, and who's got genuine Progressive credentials.
Please folks...ideas! Ideas! Four more years of Ah-nold is a stomach-turning prospect. We need someone who will beat up on him like Popeye after he's had his spinach.
