Tom McClintock has just announced the endorsement of (drumroll please) Andy Russo! Yeah no one else knows him either.

Nephew Patrick and I were amongst the throngs at the State Fair on Monday to greet Arnold. He was very enthused as he snapped a close-up photo of Arnold and shook his hands. Pat enjoys he benefits of being young and tall (he's 22 yrs, 6'6") and maneuvered himself right up front. Hope to post his pic soon.

Apparently Arnold invited some (or all?) of the other Republican candidates to join him at the fair. A couple of them were trying to work the crowd near me. One was a fellow with a long ponytail and the other was a woman from Placer County named Cheryl. I don't kow why, but this morning I looked her up on the web and realized that she was the younger sister of a college roommate of mine. Don't really remember much about her, but they grew up in a beautiful house on the bluffs of the American River in Carmichael. I don't know what would make a person want to run for gov as a novelty candidate. If you love your state, don't you realize that the thousand or so votes you take away from a mainstream candidate might be what makes him lose? It was only 3 years ago that the Presidency was won by that margin.
