If I lived in LA, I'd be writing myself in.

Too bad there isn't a coordinated write-in campaign to split the vote like there was in San Diego a few months ago.

For Mayor of San Diego, a Democrat woman named Donna Frye ran (not necessarily legally) as a write-in during the runoff between two Republican men: incumbent Dick Murphy and challenger Ron Roberts. Murphy "won" with slightly over 1/3 of the vote, despite the purpose of a run-off to ensure the winner has over 1/2 of the vote, and the other candidates each had a slightly lower share. Murphy may be recalled (after the 6-month honeymoon where recalls are forbidden), since nearly 2/3 didn't vote for him.
