Preliminary list of candidates to appear on the Oct. 7 recall ballot and the county where they filed. In some cases, the signatures they turned in to qualify still must be verified. The secretary of state's office late Saturday reported that 155 candidates had turned in candidacy papers, but it did not have a complete list of the names. The following list contains 134 candidates. The office said it will try to make a complete list available on Sunday and will certify a final list Wednesday.

Over 100 candidates?? Cool.

[hole_n_one]

• Edward Thomas Kennedy
• Robert A. Dole
• S. Issa
• Michael Jackson
• Richard J. Simmons

  LOL!

[NormsRevenge]

I love it .. We have a lot of dark horse and this fella too ... David Laughing Horse Robinson, D-Kern

Oh ,, Almost forgot .. GO Tom!! :-) (meeeep meeeep!)

[goldstategop]

I noticed Warren Farrell is on the list. Isn't he that masculinist author??

[goldstategop]

Oh yes.... and our favorite perv Larry Flynt, whose campaign theme will undoubtedly be to offer a Hustler magazine subscription to every hot blooded California single male.

[Keyes2000mt]

My favorite dark horse is Mathilda Karel Spak:

here's a portion of a news story:

Mathilda Karel Spak, 100, said her age shouldn't hamper her chances of winning the election.

"I've made plans until 105," the centenarian said. "Then I'll take things easy

Running for Governor at 100 is something, heck, being alive and active at that age is something.

[goldstategop]

Too bad Bob Hope isn't in the race.

[hole_n_one]

Mathilda Karel Spak.....

[hole_n_one]

More "candidates".....

[Keyes2000mt]

Also doesn't look a day over 80.

[Int]

Are all the names going to be listed on a (huge) one-page ballot? This will be interesting...

[rockfish59]

What a motley crew!

No Mike Savage?

If Arnold's a Republican, then I sing for Led Zeppelin!!

[Theresawithanh]

He's got a campaign slogan of sorts, it's "The smut peddler with a heart'. I read it in the Palo Alto Daily last week...

[Brandon]

You missed one:

Dan Feinstein -- of San Francisco, no less! I wonder how many suckers will get taken in by some of these candidates?

[Bonaparte]

Ueberroth was reported to be running as an independent, even though he's registered Republican. Now he shows up in the Republican column. Strange, but then I expect many strange things in the next 2 months.

[Bonaparte]

Wow HAL!! Did you catch Feinstein in the democrat column? She's not only in the race but has had a sex-change, calling herself "Dan" now. Well, that's SF for you.

[JohnnyZ]

She's not only in the race but has had a sex-change, calling herself "Dan" now.

I think it's just the truth in advertising laws.

[gg188]

You forgot "Rotten" Sherwood

[Call-9-11]

It looks like Mary Carey spends a lot of time on her knees.

[oceanperch]

Thanks for posting this.

You should revise it as the list shortens. Just a thought.

[Feiny]

Do they have the remaining ones listed yet?
