Gary Coleman.

While Californians await Arnold Schwarzenegger's announcement tonight of whether he's in or out, a coalition of Coleman supporters said they are filing papers this morning in Alameda County to make the diminutive star of the '80s sitcom ``Diff'rent Strokes''the first Hollywood personality on the Oct. 7 ballot.

``He's got a Clintonesque charisma. People light up when they hear Gary's name.''

When I hear Gary's name, I remember the story about him chasing the prostitute around his hotel room, asking her to suck his toes.

Is this a joke? I mean a porn start a soft porn star that drives a pink vet and now Gary Colemen.

I could be wrong, but I saw him about a year ago on Fox and he was promoting a website. He sounded pretty conservative to me.

I don't remember the issues but I remember on being struck by some of the things he was talking about. Possibly talking to teens about abstaining from sex?

Even Gary Coleman, the little pixie with the atrophied kidney, could not escape controversy. In 1989 he sued his real-life adoptive parents and his former business manager, claiming they had stolen more than $1 million from him. Tabloid rumors began to circulate reporting that Coleman had legally changed his name to Andy Shane and asked a female housemate if he could suck her toes. In 1998, the tubby actor, now working as a mall security guard, was himself sued by a Los Angeles bus driver who alleged that he had assaulted her after she asked him for an autograph.

"The world don't move to the beat of just one drum," went the theme to Diff'rent Strokes, the television show. "What might be right for you, may not be right for some." The program's troubled stars seem to have been following a rhythm all their own in their personal lives as well.

I remember when Gary was nearly broke and took a job as a parking lot security guard. When some lady commented on his size he threw himself on her car and refused to let her into the lot. Of course, this is exactly the mind set of the current goobernor.

ok, now you REALLY gotta run. i mean it.

[MatthewViti]

ahh! all the entertainment California provides us with!

"...And when I am elected, those signs at Disneyland that say "You must be THIS tall to ride" will be consigned to the dustbin of history along with "Whites Only" drinking fountains and other discredited philosophies. [pounds fist on podium] Their day is over."

Gary Coleman is also one of the characters that you can gun down in the ultra-violent videogame "Postal 2". He is the games pitch man.

I've got another candidate. Isn't Kobe Bryant a resident of CA? The democrats would love him, they already supported one rapist.
