On the "official" Walken campaign site, they now quote Matt Butler, Blogger from www.winwithwalken.com. Why would the official registrar of a presidential candidate's domain be a blogger that endorses him?

Oh, the site also mentions a press release from today that made the announcement official. See my reference above. Terrible newswire these guys have.

Can anyone find a newspaper called California Post?

OH Steve...your good.

I didnt post any of that info, but we have a tool here at work that is like whois.com. I wasnt gonna post it and see how far this would go.

Jamz -

If you had read my post on Ask Kobi™, you would know I decided to run based on your suggestion.

Shouldn't you be working on getting my campaign off the ground rather than fooling around with a fictional campaign of some movie star?

Just askin'

Found this today

*** Don't go Walken to the polls ***
Candidates for president in ’08 need not fret — they will not be running against Christopher Walken.

An online campaign for the quirky actor — including a sober-sounding statement supposedly from Walken himself — is a hoax, his rep tells The Scoop.

“It’s time to be smart about our politics. It's time to get America back on track,” Walken is quoted as saying.

“[That site] made me laugh,” says spokeswoman Mara Buxbaum. “Chris has no involvement with it whatsoever. Chris doesn’t even own a computer — he doesn’t know from computers. I suspect it might be some prankster who enjoyed seeing Chris as secretary of state in ‘Wedding Crashers’ and now thinks he should run for president.”

Well if I can't vote for Walken, I guess I'll vote for Kobi.

Well, I guess being second choice isn't bad when you get the vote . . . I'll take them anyway I can get them.

Thanks for your support.

Now it's on to win in the primaries, and then Washington!!!!

(Thunderous applause in background).

This posting is approved by the committee to elect Kobi for President™

But as much as I would like to hear more cowbell, even more evidence we won't see Walken at the polls...
