Steph Curry, maybe? In CA, he's currently widely respected (for his 3-pointers). Or, given the names you said you liked in sports, how about Steve Young? I could even see Joe Montana winning easily (does he still live here? not sure...). Actually there is historical precedent for this. The one name that springs to mind is Bill Bradley. Oh, and Jack Kemp, too... :-) -CW Don Harris -

I was all on Kaepernick's side, right up until I heard he hadn't even bothered to vote in the last election. C'mon, dude, people look up to you -- if you don't vote, you don't get to complain about politics... Even if you feel it's futile, voting's all you really have to express your opinion in a manner politicians understand... Although if he decided to run, maybe I'd change my opinion of him. :-) -CW Don Harris [2] -
