kevin_standlee's LJ, but it deserves its own spotlight here.

How weird is this? On today's ballot:

• Treasurer is running for Governor
• Atty. Gen. is running for Treasurer
• Ex-governor is running for Atty. Gen.
• Lt. Gov. is running for Insurance Commissioner
• Insurance Commissioner is running for Lt. Gov.
• Appointed Secretary of State is running for election to that office
• Tax board member is running for State Controller
• And someone with degrees from MIT and Standford is running for the tax board. I'd say she's over-qualified, but then I saw this:

• 4 Year Term. Salary: $154,875
