The field seems to be narrowing in the race for Governor of California; there are only 136 entries at the moment. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be simpler, cheaper, and perhaps wiser to just hold a lottery- why not pick a random name out of the 33.9 million left coast residents and let the winner govern? I was following the campaign of filmaker Brian Jennings for awhile- he was running on the platform of "I Will Not Serve." His notion was that if elected, he would immediately resign and thus hand over the office to Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante. I emailed Jennings and suggested that he make up some campaign buttons- they would be hot sellers on Ebay after the election....
