Billionaire Jewish Man Running For President; Schwarzenegger to Co-star

Now that Mike B. has left the Republican Party behind him, a Presidential run will be heavily discussed.

The Times already has a graphic looking at the success of third party candidates over the years. Even more interesting is when you take into account the current frontrunners: Rudy and Hillary, both of New York. A Clinton-Bloomberg-Giuliani battle would be great to watch, but hell for 95% of the country.

But here's my overly-premature question: who'll run with him? Can't be the green-tied man in the photo. Moreover, as his film bio shows, Arnie has never before co-starred with a Jewish man (not counting John Turturro's brief appearance in Collateral Damage); although he has starred with short men (see TWINS).

So who could it be? Hard to imagine any of the current contenders jumping ship to join him. The country's only other prominent independents are two Senators: a socialist, (Bernie Sanders of Vermont), and a joke (Joe Lieberman of Connecticut).

I'm fresh out of ideas.
