Ueberroth Drops Out

My shortlist just got shorter.

I wouldn't be surprised if Arnold taps him.

This is a shame. I'm opposed to the recall, but I thought his inclusion in the process injected a sense of focus that will now be gone. Some of my fellow Californians are under the impressions that this recall is about a wide array of issues (drivers licenses for illegial aliens? puh-lease, what a non-starter), when, in fact, it is not. It's about our budget crisis and businesses leaving us for more gamine states. See ya, Peter...you're about as eloquent as a doorknob, but you stuck to your guns.

Ueberroth could have been President after the job he did with the '84 Olympics, and then Major League Baseball. Timing really IS everything.

[Douglas Fletcher]

Yeah, those 1984 Olympics were something. The "jingo-vision" coverage on TV was fantastic but the truth is the closing ceremonies were the best. Ueberroth should have at least gotten appointed to the Supreme Court for arranging all that.

No, he should have taken the profile afforded him by organizing the first summer games to turn a profit since Christ was a choirboy into some political capital, and run with it.
