Amusing results:

First, the obvious:

Arnold Schwarzenegger Republican 3,552,787 48.1%
Cruz Bustamante Democrat 2,379,740 32.2%
Tom McClintock Republican 979,234 13.3%
Peter Camejo Green 207,270 2.8%

And the others:

Larry Flynt Democrat 15,010 0.2%
Gary Coleman Independent 12,443 0.2%
Mary Cook Independent 9,716 0.1%
Leo Gallagher Independent 4,742 0.1%

That means that 4,742 people in California felt that the man best suited for the job of governor was some guy who smashes watermelons for a living. I guess that's no more far-fetched than who we got.


George Schwartzman Independent 10 0.0%

How does it feel to only get 10 votes? What, he couldn't even convince his own family to vote for him?
