I'm a sucker for secrets. Dean Martin has a countdown clock on his Vote Dean Martin website. Hmm, it's obviously not an announcement for Governor, because he would have to resign to run. That didn't stop Terry Goddard, but Dean's too smart for that. It's not a countdown to the state's Bankruptcy--which I predicted nearly two years ago. Here's my favorite part of that post...
But the easy choices have already been made; the gimmicks will soon be gone; the rainy day fund will soon be spent. It's time for real leadership. Instead, the Governor is saying "Nothing Down! No Payments until 2010." Of course, she'll be gone in 2010 and we will be the ones paying off the credit cards.
(Remember that I made that prediction well before Obama even secured the nomination.)
Maybe MGM is announcing a sequel to the movie Chicken Little.
You will recall that after the disastrous 2008 budget--in which every legislative Democrat and a few Republican enablers voted for a major budget expansion in front of what was obviously not a normal downturn--Martin announced that the budget was unsustainable and the state would eventually run out of money. Napolitano responded that Martin was "a side player" and was acting like chicken little. Martin responded with customary grace.
So what is it? Well, all I can say is that it better be at least reasonably big--if he counts down to announce that his website will also be available in Spanish I'm going to be pretty disappointed.
Viva Martin!

That countdown was a real letdown. Not a good symbolic way to start a campaign.
