Conservative actors have always had a pretty good record of getting into the governor’s mansion in California, albeit with mixed results when they get there. Sure, you have Ronald Reagan, but you also have Arnold Schwarzenegger as well.
However, the point is that they got there, which is more than we can say for most California Republicans in this day and age. Now, radio host and conservative activist Melanie Morgan is starting a grassroots movement to put Hollywood icon and legendary Twitterer James Woods in that very august company.
In an online petition started Tuesday on her site Media Equalizer, Morgan beseeches Woods to run in the Golden State’s gubernatorial contest later this year to counter the likely Democrat nominee, former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
“James Woods, governor of California? Why not? The Golden State has a long history of electing leaders from the deep end of thespian pool,” the petition reads.
