It's official, dahlink.

Arianna Huffington is a Democratic candidate for governor of California. Is she qualified? Hell if I know, though probably not any less so than the other 250 people who have signed up so far. The question now is will Democrats give up on the (probably) mortally wounded Gray Davis and coalesce behind her? If they do, she should coast to victory. Or will this be the crack in the dam that opens a flood of serious Democratic candidates into the race? And given the state of California's budget, why does anybody want this job anyhow?

More importantly, will California and Michigan get to duke it out over who has the hotter governor? Stay tuned...
