Wonder if it is true? With, Bubba, ya never know.

What might have been
Bill Clinton on his near-miss with California government:

“In 1978, I was elected governor. I was the youngest governor in the country. I was 32 years old. I was dumb enough to think for a moment I was somebody. In 1980 I was the youngest ex-governor…You could have made a lot of money if you’d bought stock in me back then. Because my price was low.

“We had two-year terms. Everything that could go wrong did. Gray Davis had been Jerry Brown’s chief of staff. And he left. And Jerry Brown called me … and he said, ‘You ought to come out here and be my chief of staff.’ He said, ‘I can’t believe they beat you on that little tax increase.’ He said, ‘I’ll just let you run the governor’s office. You’ll have a great time and you’ll love California.’ I’ve often wondered what would have happened to me if I had taken the governor up on his offer.”

--from Clinton's speech on behalf of Gray Davis today at the First AME Church in Los Angeles. Clinton said this was a story even Gray Davis didn't know. I have never seen it reported, if it ever was.
