at $3,500 per candidate how many more Californians would have needed to run for governor in order to cover the state's budget deficit?

Ok, here's an IDEA, think we could get $3500 raised here on Freerepublic to run our own Candidate?
Jimrob for Governor! Heck at least get a Freeper on the Ballot! Wouldn't that frost some folks???
