Who would you say is the "face" of your city or state?

Asked by TominLasVegas (1229points) December 21st, 2009

for Las Vegas right now I’d say it would be Steve Wynn with Oscar Goodman a close second.

Unfortunately, that would be Governor Goodhair. You know, the one that threatened to secede.

Obama, Blowjobovich Blagojevich or Oprah.

At this point in time, I’d have to say Brandon Marshall.

Well, our governor is freakin’ Arnold Schwarzenegger. That is always going to be awesome.

But since a ton of celebrities live and work in California, it’s hard to pick just one.

I don’t think Wilmington or Delaware has a face. I’m not sure it has any body parts at all.

Probably Obama cuz he was born here :P I have no idea!

@jonsblond It’s so true. He’s the man. Did you see when he gave the ball to a Broncos fan at Indy? He’s so classy.

Everybody in California is a celebrity, or wannabe, so the Hollywood sign is probably the most likely.

As a long time Raider fan I relish beating Denver. But I’ll be the first to admit they should have been blown out. It was a good game regardless of who won.

There is no one face of my city (Sydney, Australia). Our state government is an absolute cock-up, with 10 different swearing in ceremonies of new ministers in 12 months. We now have our second unelected premier in a row, since it was revealed that the state is er.. broke, and a hospital in an regional town had to borrow sterile gloves from a vet because they didn’t have the funding to buy their own.

As for celebrities, I’m not really sure. None particularly stand out at the moment, because any stars of note move overseas, and our footballers are not the moral bulwarks you would wish for. If you look at the population statistics, the “face” of Sydney is probably some Sheik who is famous in Iran for his teachings, but I really can’t identify any single person.

@DominicX I definitely think it would be Arnold, regardless of what other celebrities live in our state, simply because he is the governor.
