Davis can win, Moore-style -- Michael Moore
Edited on Mon Oct-06-03 04:59 PM by khephra
The governor needs a Capra-esque epiphany, and he needs it in the next hour


I am one of the few people who truly knows what Gray Davis is going through this week because I too once had to go through a recall election. And I won.

I believe there is still the crazy chance he can too.

Long before I was making movies or writing books or going after elected officials, I was an elected official. In fact, I held the record as the youngest officeholder in the country. Just months after the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed, I was elected, at the age of 18, to a seat on the Board of Education in the school district where I lived in Michigan. I was still a senior in high school, and the idea of becoming the boss of the high school principal was just too good to pass up.

The day after my election, the assistant principal changed my name from "Hey, you!" to "Mr. Moore," and suddenly I realized I was in a place where maybe I could do some good.

5. W-Wait, I thought Moore was a Green
You mean these Greens... they're EX-DEMOCRATS??

Gosh, the idea these Dems are coming down with some strange affliction and leaving the party... Not wanting to bask in the hot wind of the Corporate Constituency alongside our luminaries Tom Daschale and Al From.

It boggles the mind how this could be ocurring right under our very CNN/FOX noses.
