BEST
CAMPAIGN PROMISE (BUT CAN HE DELIVER?)

POTENTIAL DREAM TICKET (WITH LARRY FLYNT)

If elected, he pledges to solve all the state’s problems in twenty-two minutes and forty-four seconds with two commercial breaks and a hug at the end. After all this turmoil, isn’t this just what California wants?”
Rich Gosse, no address: “Single adults are the Rodney Dangerfields of our society. ‘They can’t get no respect.’”
David Ronald Sams: “I’ve won nine Emmy awards. This campaign should be about one issue: Balancing the budget.”

Kurt E. “Tachikaze” Rightmyer, West Covina: “As the leading middleweight of the 2003 California State Sumo Series and a serious, well-educated, nonpartisan candidate for governor, I will attack the 800-lb. gorilla of big government.”
TAKE THE ENRON WEST NO AOL WEST NO WAIT KMART WEST NO WAIT IT’S CLOSED FOR COLLATERAL…
David Ronald Sams, Agoura Hills: “We must think ‘out of the box.’ For example, I would offer naming rights to our freeways.”
