Could Bobby Jackson Win a Race For Governor of California?

Print(Sometimes, you stand before a cup of rat poison and a cup of ether. Take the ether. Always the ether.)
Fact: no one in Sacramento has higher approval ratings than Bobby Jackson. Why? Here's an example:
If Bobby Jackson were to run for public office, let us estimate that 90% of eligible Sacramento voters would back him. In 2006, Sacramento County had 362,000 voters. Placer had about 120,000. Yolo had 53,000. Yuba had 14,000. El Dorado had 68,000. These areas are all decidedly pro-Kings, and as such are all pro-Bobby Jackson.
That's 617,000 voters. If Jackson gets 90% of these, he has 550,000 votes in the bag. Statewide, 8.6 million votes were cast for the governor's race. Subtract the 617,000 Sacramento area votes, and 8 million would be up for grabs. In the total 8.6 million, BoJax needs (roughly) 4,300,001 votes to win. Accounting for his in-the-bag Sacramento votes, he'd need 3.75 million of the 8 million non-Sacramento votes to win by one vote. So he'd need to run at 47% outside Sacramento. (This all assumes a two-person race, which never happens.)
Who's ready to canvass L.A. to tell the people Bobby Jackson isn't really a bad guy?
(Note: Bobby Jackson is not running for the governorship. This is all completely made up and ridiculous. I just wanted to post the clip -- thank you kingsTV -- and note that I would vote for Bobby Jackson for governor. I would. So would you. Even you Kusian. Don't lie.)

Not funny, TZ
This is exactly how you got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected, and now he can’t be in Terminator 4. Thanks a lot.
I'm in
But only if Hawes is appointed press secretary.

Good thing
we don’t need a secretary of defense

Secretary of Defense is actually in charge of Offense(War/attacking) therefore Kevin would be perfect.

give me the canvasses
and they’ll be all over LA!
There’s a lot of NON-basketball fans here in Los Angeles, so we don’t have to worry too much that he’s a King.
put me in, Coach
I only agree to vote for Bobby
When Kusian is the Lt Governor.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Its Jerry Brown's if he wants it
Pretty sure
So imitate the action of the tiger!
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.
- lend the eye a terrible aspect,
Now set the teeth - and teach them how to war!

Man we are pathetic
Our guys can’t play basketball, but maybe they could run for office. Couldn’t you have talked K9 into pulling an Artest a couple of years ago, where he would ask for a leave of absence to run for State Treasurer or something? We could start expanding it. Beno can’t play point, but I would totally go to his dry cleaners. K-Mart doesn’t play D, but I would spend hours at his combined go-kart track and nickle arcade. Garcia can’t shoot consistantly, but he could open up a gun and ammo shop called, “The Assasin.”
Can’t wait for the baseball season to start so I can convince myself the A’s are going to knock off Boston and NY this year.

I love sarcasm, especially when it’s hard to tell. Great work sir.
