Mickey Kaus, blogging at Slate magazine, likes the Gray Davis recall idea, but not the way the successor is chosen, so he puts her name on the board [scroll down] : "...The potential winning threshhold is so low that Robert Blake would have a good shot at the governor's mansion! ... Or Tom Hayden, if he could hold the left together while the center and right fragmented. ... Or, better yet, radical centrist Jill Stewart."
do it jill!

Or do we just have to get her drunk enough to sign the papers?

I think more political experience and creativity is called for. I nominate former mayoral candidate Melrose Larry Green. Plus, he's probably got the $3500 it takes to get your name on the ballot. If he refuses, I nominate fuglytheklown.com

I'd vote for Jill in a half second, and not just because she's my bud and I agree with her views. People who meant to go into politics are the worst people to run things. If most of them ever had an opinion, they've long since forgotten it. Just getting elected means selling out. It's the few accidental politicians, who stumble into politics, that don't have to sell out in order to get elected. It's not that hard to govern if you're reasonably intelligent and well-informed. It is if you're beholden to myriad special interests and if you spend most of your time in office trembling over getting back in again.
