I usually try to stay away from the conspiracy theory side of the business, but a lot of those folks like to talk about the case of Sen. Chuck Nagle (R-Nebraska), who was elected in a major upset victory. Nagle owns a significant interest in the parent company of ES&S, the firm that manufactured the voting system that Nebraskans used to elect him.

Maybe he really, legitimately won. Maybe there was fraud. But, there's insufficient evidence, either way, to ever validate the election results.

Of course, both California and Minnesota have managed to (legitimately) elect action heros without political experience to be their governors. Who's to say Scott Baio couldn't make a legit run somewhere?
