Man, I wish Texas had this type of circus for an election, at least it would be fun and would probably draw more voters to the booth. Anyway, choose who you would pick, regardless if you live in Cali or not.

edit: all of the candidates have officially announced or are very close to announcing (Uberroth, for example).

i'd have to say Cruz Bustamante, as they are the only one remotely qualified and familiar.

He's part of the problem! I wouldn't vote for anyone in the current government! Arnold will terminate all the theives in state government.

LOL, "The People vs. Larry Flynt" becomes "The People for Larry Flynt"...

this whole episode is a sick joke...on par with OJ being not guilty and yet another reason why California should separate from the rest of the country. I really hope y'all don't have the 'Big One' anytime soon...THAT will bode well for your finances...

I wonder if we can recall George Bush...I guess its too late for that to be cost-effective...

Hey, don't turn this into a "bash Bush" thread. Let's bash other "politicians" for a while.

Maybe Jesse Ventura could move out to California and be Lt. Gov and act as Arnold's advisor seeing as how he now has gubernatorial (sp?) experience. They could reunite all the rest of the cast from Predator in various cabinet positions.

It IS going to be fun to watch. I just hope Arnold's ready for the onslaught of mud-slinging and dirt-digging he's about to face.

who she?

Some rich-b!tch who likes to hear her name in the news. Forced her (then) husband (Michael) to run for Senate. Favors all of the gun control that there is. Opposes three-strikes and you're out.

Wouldn't that be three strikes & you're in? :D

If I lived in Cali I would probably vote for Arnold. Ventura has done a good job from what I've seen, & I'd like to see what Arnold can pull off.

I'd give Arnold a chance, I have no problems with how Jesse did his stuff here in MN. If your not in it for money or power(arnold probably more into fame than power) than he should be a decent gov.

It's scary to think that so many people will probably vote for Awnold just for the novelty of it.

yes, instead of letting the people decide we have state officials flee so that they can subvert the democratic process. what a great precedent to set!

ElFenix, I just can't wait until the Repubs play the same game, if for nothing else to see the reaction from the Dems and the press. They have set a precendent that I believe is going to majorally backfire on them.

I wonder what they'll run from next - next year's budget?

I don't think it's a novelty, he's been a Republican for as long as I remember. He has expressed his beliefs many times in books and inteviews. He's actually a pretty intelligent down to earth kind of guy.

People in the UK are comparing Arnie's running to Nixon or Reagan, or whoever it was that was an actor before becoming governor then President.
That's a stupid thing to do since Arnie can't be Pres. cos he wasn't born in the US.

If I was in Cali, I'd vote Arnie.
