Raylan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Reportedly considering a run for governor of CA. No comments or thoughts regarding the politics of the matter or Mr. Quaid personally. He does however have perhaps potentially the greatest built in campaign slogan of any candidate in history....................in reference to the film National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and cousin Eddie. Which is dang hilarious given the typical history of corruption in politics, but which potential slogan I can't post here as it contains a mild vulgarity. I just imagine thousands of billboards and bumper stickers and tv and radio comercials with the slogan emblazoned or used as a tag line for cleaning up politics.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Those decent folks in California just don't have anybody left to run for office. And Bruce Jenner doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Quail went off the rails years ago. But so what? At least he’d be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I would think anything would be an improvement or Newsome even Kaitlyn!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 He/She/It is better than what we have now in CA... by a long shot. At least He/She/It is a staunch Republican. More important: recalling Newsom will kill his aspirations to be President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Quaid or Jenner or my cat's litter box would be better than Newsome, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Our local paper ran an article on non-politico candidates expressing the fact that they may be popular icons, but don't have any idea on how to helm a government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Somehow I think the voters of CA may surprise us all by voting someone in who is even worse than Newsome, I'm sure there will be at least a couple of candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I am waiting for someone to pull a rabbit out of their hat and use some obscure law to thwart this effort. I would say more, but this is a family forum and it would violate the political speech rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Whackyfornia is about as liberal as you can be. 3 Counties elect the Governor. San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco which are terminally liberal. They may elect a different governor but they will be a liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Last time we recalled a governor, the Governator was his replacement. Wasn't the first time we had an actor as a governor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
