http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/01/21/head-of-bank-bailout-announces-he-is-running-for-calif-governor/SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Neel Kashkari, a former U.S. Treasury official who was the architect of the nations bank bailout at the height of the recession, said Tuesday he is running for governor of California with a campaign that will focus on boosting jobs and improving public schools.
The Republican newcomer will face long odds against incumbent Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat who has not yet declared his intention to run for re-election but has amassed $17 million in his campaign account.
Kashkari, an engineer by training, made the announcement during a speech at California State University, Sacramento. He cited the relatively poor performance of Californias public school system and unemployment and poverty rates that are among the highest in the country as his main motivations for running.

yeah, go with that guy. Repukes/teabaggers really loved the bail out.

Take your trickle down economics to a state that still believes in that shit...one of those that think Jesus rode dinosaurs.
