Gary Coleman (of Diff'rent Strokes fame) and CA gubernatorial candidate in the special election of October 2003 is another.

Don't know about the 17 people who voted for him as governor, though.

Trondheim, do endorsements really matter in your country?  If Angela were to suddenly endorse a socialist, would you give a rat's ass?  Would any German? 

Does all this seem silly to you?  Is the impression among German Leftists that endorsements go a long way in the USA?  I ask because, among other reasons, I do not believe that they do, although they do make for job security for the talking heads.  What are your impressions?

good question.  don't know...

On the one hand, he's been a solidly conservative republican committed to smaller government.  (but then, that's exactly what might make him vote for some rightist candidate)  Here's an exerpt from one of his press releases:

"Ultimately, debt is slavery. Every dollar the federal government borrows makes us less secure as a nation, by making America beholden to interests outside our borders. So when you hear a politician saying America will do “whatever it takes” to fight terrorism or rebuild Iraq or end poverty or provide health care for all, what they really mean is they are willing to sink America even deeper into debt. We’re told that foreign wars and expanded entitlements will somehow make America more secure, but insolvency is hardly the foundation for security. Only when we stop trying to remake the world in our image, and reject the entitlement state at home, will we begin to create a more secure America that is not a financial slave to foreign creditors. "


Hard to imagine how that squares with the current GOP big spenders.  So, will Ron Paul be voting for George Bush?
