Maybe it's a stupid gimmick, but it could also be an effective one. A state governor coming to stay with you? And actually listen to what you think? That's political gold.

Do you remember that episode of the Simpsons where Burns runs for governor and goes over for dinner at the Simpson home? With all the press in the dining room? It'll be like that.

Although, if we're lucky, he'll stay in a trailer park.

Wait until Guliani offers to give the "average Amercian guy" a blow job. you know, so he can understand what is ailing Americans.

Hillary is going to start to come into people's homes and clean out our toilets so she can learn about our water problems.

I LOVE this sorta shit. It makes politicians look like the whores that they are!

Does anyone at The Stranger remember Jimmy Carter?

Richardson's gimmick isn't exactly the first time a Democratic Governor and Presidential candidate has camped out in living rooms while on the campaign trail.

Okay, I'd allow it, but only if he's paying for his own food. He's a tubby motherfucker.

Has Dennis Kucinich and his wife announced a similar campaign strategy?

@8: "Rabbit, any other day I would step in there and teach you how to swing, but that's a senator's wife."

Microwave pizza rolls aren't allowed in my house.

But the sleeping bag is cool.

Sounds good to me... as long as they are well groomed, well behaved and have a Big C*CK! Oh, and wearing some deodorant would be good too...
