SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Republican Meg Whitman can now claim another endorsement—fans of a Sacramento minor-league baseball team. The Sacramento River Cats on Friday held their own kind of gubernatorial election—a bobblehead contest. The team gave away 2,500 bobbleheads in the likeness of Whitman and Democratic candidate Jerry Brown.
Team spokeswoman Rebecca Brutlag says the Whitman bobbleheads were snatched up first, making her the winner. The team did not count how many fewer Brown bobbleheads had been distributed when Whitman won.
In 2008, President Barack Obama won a River Cats bobblehead contest against his GOP opponent Sen. John McCain.
Brutlag says the contests are "all in good fun."

Who wouldn't want a Jerry Moonbeam Brown bobblehead, on their dashboard?
Could come in handy as a target at the shooting range too.
