	Off the Kuff: Peter Ueberroth
		It's just as well for Kevin that Peter Ueberroth has dropped out of the California recall election.
		Ueberroth has never accepted responsibility for the worst stain on his career, charges that the baseball owners colluded to restrict the bargaining power of free agents in the 1980s when he was commissioner of baseball.
		Ueberroth is also the guy who opened the floodgates to the all-pervasive corporate sponsorship of every baseball event short of spitting and crotchgrabbing, so he has an awful lot to answer for, and I do mean awful.

		Peter is a proven problem-solver who can help save jobs and create more jobs.
		While the ad is effective in depicting Ueberroth as a leader, it offers no specifics as to the "tough decisions" he would make as governor to balance the budget and solve California's fiscal crisis.
		Finally, the ad trumpets Ueberroth's success at the Olympics, but that accomplishment is now almost 20 years old -- leaving the viewer to wonder what he has done in the meantime to prepare to lead the nation's most populous state.

Gray Davis in an October 7 recall election, sources close to the Republican businessman told CNN.
		A potential Ueberroth campaign, the sources said, would focus almost exclusively on California's economic and fiscal crisis, pledging to bring discipline in the same way he "saved" the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
		Ueberroth went from the Olympics to become Commissioner of Major League Baseball and later headed Rebuild L.A. -- a citywide campaign in the early 1990s to rejuvenate economically depressed sections of Los Angeles.

		There will be over 100 names on the ballot, but experts say that the short time frame, high cost of campaigning and strict limits on campaign contributions will give a decided advantage to candidates with pre-existing statewide name recognition and the ability to finance the campaign from their own personal wealth.
		Ueberroth, the former Commissioner of Baseball, is a registered Republican but is running as an independent.
		He is considered a top contender because of his moderate stances on social issues, which are seen as more in step with the California electorate than those of more conservative Republican candidates.
