I've thought about this long and hard. I know the kind of weight the blogosphere carries in the political arena, and I wanted to make sure not to abuse that power.
I've considered the issues, reviewed the candidates and their platforms, evaluated the effectiveness of their campaigns, and decided who I will endorse.
Before I announce the name, I want to assure you that I've not been improperly influenced in any way by any candidate. In fact, I've had no contact with any of them, so I can be assured of an impartial, fair judgment.
The new governor will face many tough problems, including a tremendous budget deficit, an unruly state government which has lost touch with the common people, and a deeply divided constituency. The problems facing California are pretty much beyond solution, so in the end, it doesn't really matter which poor bastard gets the job; they're screwed no matter what they do. Therefor, I'm pleased to award the coveted Shots Across the Bow endorsement to Mary Carey.
She's used to it.
To go along with my endorsement, I'm contributing $5.00 to her campaign, in hopes that she'll send me a poster or something.

My serious prediction is that Davis will survive the recall, based on the reactions from the debate last night. If by some chance, the recall passes, prepare yourself for the Cruz missile...
