He'll Stand Up For The Little Guy
For those interested, here's Gary Coleman's campaign platform. It's got a lot of stuff on it, but hey, a guy like him needs a big platform...
I'm actually in favor of his anti-politician, anti-tax, anti-union, pot-reform, and anti-bus planks, but I've got problems with his enthusiasm for eminent domain. And as someone with a pond in their backyard, I live in constant fear of having my home declared a wetland.
Also, I'm not sure that, given how screwed up the water markets are in California (particularly considering that they don't really exist--it's a political spoils system), "free water" is all that hot an idea. Besides, the stuff is dangerous.

With such a huge percentage of its acreage owned by state and federal government, California is the poster child for eminent domain.

It's not quite as bad as it sounds. A lot of that land defaulted to state or federal ownership because no one wanted it.

California's problems have at least provided us with a plethora of puns. And a bit of alliteration, too.
