I predict that Kinky will crash and burn.  Any time an outsider tries to challenge a massive and powerul corrupt system, the system kills them.

I haven't even read Kinky's platform and to be honest, thought he looked like some kind of John Wayne type dude. That wasn't what mattered.

What's cool here, or at least cool to me, was that rpm decided to get involved. And his involvement no doubt had a tangible effect on Kinky's success. It's a money-where-your-mouth-is kind of thing... and kudos to rpm for that. Why? Because of sentiments like this:

"Any time an outsider tries to challenge a massive and powerul corrupt system, the system kills them." - Yeager

That's pretty fatalistic. Yet at the same time, realistic. Because of the fatalism.

The only way to turn that around is through efforts not unlike the one displayed here by one grocery clerk, in one county, in one state.

Bravo, dude.

Not likely though. He's pretty liberal in a largely conservative state. His numbers are quite low right now and I haven't heard him say much that is likely to change that. Never know what can happen though.

I have to ask......

What impartance IF any would an indie gov do?

I ask this based on the fact that the Grand Ole Party and the democrats still control the state senate.....

He can introduce laws all he wants but they don't have to vote on them...

He can submit all the budget plans he wants but they don't have to approve them....

He can veto all he wants to but that's not going to get anything done either right?????

Maybeperhaps he'll get the red and blue girls into bed with each other to protect themselves from the evil indie governor. Extreme reactions prolly require extreme actions. ;)

Not necessarily, Gunslinger.

For instance, George Bush got to be governor of Texas running against a popular Democrat incumbent, and had to work with a Democrat-controlled legislature. Yet, he accomplished things from his platform like concealed weapons carry permits (it was illegal to carry pistols in Texas before his administration) and reforms in the penal system (after which we've had lower crime rates BTW) that the Democrats were on record as being against.

My point isn't whether or not what he did as governor here was good or not (I liked it, YMMV), but that the governor has a bully pulpit by virtue of his election. Used effectively, it can be productive of results he seeks.

I've been involved with a whole lot of beautiful women, you know, and I had a great time, and I don't regret any of it. And you know, I've never killed anybody. I mean, hell, even Ted Kennedy can't say that. So, I've got nothing to hide really and I'm looking forward to this race very, very much."- Kinky Friedman

That's what scares the Republicans. There's nothing they could dig up that he won't whole heartedly admit to. Yet another reason I like Kinky.
