"Presidential candidate Lowell Darling is heir to a long tradition in the arts. He's hardly the first artist to run for office. Nor was Ronald Reagan. (Never forget that Hollywood dotes on the term artist.) In California, Reagan was preceded by B-movie actor/Senator George Murphy and followed by chanteur/Congressman Sonny Bono. (Notice a Republican preference for second-stringers?).... In California's 1978 gubernatorial race, Darling garnered 2% of the vote against incumbent Jerry Brown. He elicited Brown's endorsement after promising, if elected, to hire Brown to govern the state for him. Darling's campaign included acupuncture performance-treatments to lace up the San Andreas Fault and a state-wide tour--in a 1956 pink and black Plymouth--whose signature was its soft-sculpture lips (for kissing babies) and hands (to avoid swelling.)"
