COME OCTOBER, Californians will face the annoying task of sifting through scores of candidates for governor (not to mention the question of whether or not to recall Gray Davis). Among the more serious names are Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, Arnold Schwarzenegger, former candidate Bill Simon, state senator Tom McClintock, and actor Gary Coleman.

Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis? (I won’t say it again; I promise.) Everyone–including the editors at this magazine–is making short shrift of Coleman’s candidacy. I, for one, am determined not to treat it so facetiously.
