Heya, I've kinda hit a stumbling block and I wonder for some ideas:

I'm about to run a Campaign in Gommora, CA, starting w/ the 
"Ghostbusters" adventure (which I haven't read yet, but I ordered it) 
and I have a character who's playing a Saloon Gal. On her draw, she got 
a joker and drew to be a "bad" Doppleganger (as in Marshal's Guide). I 
can't think who a Saloon gal might look like that's bad... thanks for 
any ideas.

I think the Rachel Sumner idea works, though I'd take it a step furthur and 
say she looks like Jewel.   at any rate, I'd watch out on the whole Gommorra 
campaign idea, I tried to do that, and it flopped miserably.   the basic 
problem being the Marshall controlled characters in Gommorra are just too 
darn cool and they overshadow player characters, also, if the characters 
esatblish themselves as any sort of a power in the town, they're going to 
annoy someone, and thus they're liable to end up dead. just my take on it, I 
hope your game runs better.   (and ghostbusters starts just after Knicky 
boy's temper tantrum, so you can adjust your timeline for when they get to 
gommorra depending on how long you want to run gommorra for.)
