Poizner, the next republican governator?

That's what he's hoping. Steve Poizner, the California Insurance Commissioner, today announced he launching a 2010 gubernatorial exploratory committee.

I announced this at large to the office to which one of my intelligent and fairly well-versed co-workers said, "I don't even know who he is."

Ouch.

Though he's gotten a fair amount of positive press for his only two years in office, Poizner's doesn't have near the name recognition of the two presumed Democratic candidates in the race, San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. On the plus side, he's got a Silicon Valley fortune to help him out.

Steve Poizner is the best candidate by a mile!
mayor Gavin and mayor Villaraigosa are both womanizers
and cheaters who cannot be trusted and have done a horrible job as mayors. "Send them packing".
