Gov. Gray 'out' Davis flatly ruled out Tuesday a race for the presidency in 2004, citing California's budget problems and his desire to "leave this state better off than I found it," reports the LA Times. That may take several decades as Governor, as Davis has already dug a record $21 Billion hole to try to climb out of. With a record like that, I have to wonder just who is calling for Gray to run? Do they want to see if he can run our country into the ground like he has California?

Even though I can balance my checkbook and thus have a leg up on Gray Davis, I want to reiterate my own position, and go on record once again as saying that I do not intend to run for President in 2008 (I'm still too young in '04). A Presidential bid just doesn't seem right for me.

Besides, I've already enumerated the reasons I won't run.
