The Ueberroth factor

[realFedUp]

Republicans seem shy about mentioning Peter Ueberroth
as one of their candidates. I would think he is going to
appeal to moderate Republicans who would have voted for
Riordan. This guy is going to be a factor.

1. He's running as an independent

Ueberroth announced Friday evening in a statement that he will be a candidate in the October 7 recall election. Although he is a registered Republican, he will run as an independent stressing bi-partisanship.

"Between now and October 7, California voters will be subjected to the same bitter partisanship that too often interferes with getting California to work again," he said. "Once the campaign has ended, I believe that I will be the best qualified person to get the tough job done."

2. Oh

Ok, that explains a lot, but he is really a Republican
and will take votes away from other Pubs.
