Former Olympics, baseball chief Ueberroth considers run

[CatWoman]

Ok -- this is getting crazier and crazier.

Well, the more the merrier. What the hell.

Another gift from the Republicans -- they are truly turning our country into a laughingstock.

One state at a time.

Now Ueberroth may run for governor.

Where the hell are Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch?


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- With the filing deadline only two days away, former U.S. Olympics President and former Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth has decided to take the first step in a potential bid to replace California Gov. Gray Davis in an October 7 recall election, sources close to the Republican businessman told CNN.

1. I hope he does run

Ueberroth isn't the pariah that most think. I read one of his books a few years back. He has two properties here in OC and will probably have some great backing in his neighborhood. He actually did a great job on the LA olympics and is popular enough to split the Republican vote even further.

2. AH, WHY NOT!!!!

Issa shouldn't have quit so early. He got this little ho-down started after all.

Quite rude of him to leave like that, IMO.

3. I believe he was ORDERED to back down

he completed his task: bankrolled and started the recall.

5. Ueberroth

Some years back this man had a ton of political capitol.

If he runs, the Repubs will have some major choices to make.
