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.

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."
