"Gouvernator" and "Stars-and-Stripes" cocktails

[James A. Landau]

More Schwarzenegger philologia (and yes, I misspelled "Schwarzenegger" in my
last post).

World Marvels at Schwarzenegger's Victory
By VANESSA GERA, AP

GRAZ, Austria (Oct. 8)

<snip>

The breakfast celebration took place in downtown Graz - a historic city in
southern Austria located just a few miles away from Schwarzenegger's boyhood
home, Thal.

The night before, hundreds of partygoers packed into the bar to cheer on
Schwarzenegger.

Chanting "Go, Arnie, Go!" from time to time, the celebrants at the party
sipped "Gouvernator" and "Stars-and-Stripes" cocktails in the bar, which was
decorated with "Join Arnold" campaign flyers and red, white and blue balloons.

And did anyone notice that the top four finishers in the governor's race
(it's no longer PC to say "gubernatorial") finished in order of the length of
their names?

Arnold Schwarzenegger   20 letters
Cruz Bustamante            14 letters
Tom McClintock              13 letters
Peter Samejo                  11 letters

(It is necessary to go to first names to break the tie for second place)
