Have you ever wished you could be in two places at once? It's easy to do if you have a twin.

The leading candidate for mayor of San Antonio admitted on Thursday using his twin brother as a stand-in at a civic event without telling anyone it was not him.

    It's like a plot out of a Sweet Valley High book.

    This is done all the time in Mexico and in the third world, nothing new here, but its a start of things to come. by the way julian castor is also a Mexican National. And much loved in that san antonio for being anti American, "you know like Bush and family".

    He should have used one of Saddam's old body doubles. They're experienced and could use the work.

    I want my own twin. There was this cute little movie with Michael Keaton where he cloned himself. Can't remember the name though.

    Actually the story may be a bit misleading. I saw them on GMA this morning. Apparently they were both supposed to attend a parade and the candidate changed his plan late in the game. An announcer saw the twin on camera and announced to the crowd it was the candidate. They now have t-shirts that will help folks keep them straight....
