    Ok, while I known who Ueberroth is, I honeslty can remember what he looks like. So going to "toe-totoe with Scwartzenegger in terms of fame"? I think not.

    Plus, I still maintain that running as a caretaker to just fill out Davis' term is a non-starter

    Ueberroth, a Republican, was considering announcing his plans today to run as an independent candidate who could bridge the partisan divide in Sacramento and said he would only serve for the three-year balance of Davis' term.

    Ueberroth adviser Dan Schnur said that if Ueberroth entered the race, he would focus on bridging partisan divides, and he noted that the former Time magazine "Man of the Year" could go toe-to-toe with Schwarzenegger in terms of fame.

    "It's a different kind of star power," Schnur said of Ueberroth's reputation. "Ueberroth is hoping to improve Sacramento's focus from political to economic growth and job creation."

    "bridge the partisan divide"

    Is this like having the American League play the National League during the regular season?

    And the key problem with Ueberroth is that if he gets to Sacramento, he might resign leaving Bud Selig in charge. Then, if the legislature deadlocks on a budget deal, he will tell everyone to just go home.

    19 years ago he was famous. Not any more. The porn star (Mary Carey) in the race has more name recognition.
