I wish they all could be Californian elections

Politics1.com has a full list, with links to official websites, of the final 135 candidates for the Californian Recall election here. It also tells you what each of them does for a job when they're not trying to scab their way into the Governor's Mansion through the backdoor. 

Here are some of my favourites
Iris Adam (Natural Law) - Business Analyst & Frequent Candidate 
Angelyne (Independent) - Entertainer & Billboard Self-Promoter 
Joel Britton (Independent) - Communist Political Organizer, Retiree & '02 Illinois Governor Candidate 
Art Brown (D) - Filmmaker 
William Chambers (R) - Railroad Worker 
Mary "Mary Carey" Cook (Independent) - Adult Movie Actress (She's got my vote! - Adam) 
Larry Flynt (D) - Pornography Magazine Publisher & Casino Owner 
Leo Gallagher (Independent) - Comedian 
Jack Grisham (Independent) - Punk Rock Band Lead Singer & Laborer 
Ivan Hall (Green) - Dental Lab Owner, Ex-School Bus Driver & Navy Veteran 
Paul "Chip" Mailander (D) - Golf Pro 
Mike McCarthy (Independent) - Used Car Dealer 
Paul Nave (D) - Businessman, Ex-World Welterweight Boxing Champion & '00 State Assembly Candidate 
Bill Prady (D) - TV Sitcom Producer & Writer 
Kurt "Tachikaze" Rightmyer (Independent) - Middleweight Sumo Wrestler 
Darrin Scheidle (D) - Electronic Fingerprinting Firm Owner 
Peter Ueberroth (R) - 1984 US Olympics President & Ex-Major League Baseball Commissioner

I'll say this thousands more times before October 5th, but... Best Election Ever.
