I think it's safe to say Ahnuld's campaign team will not have any trouble coming up with campaign slogans.

I can state he won't get one vote... mine. By proxy I can state he won't get six additional votes... my family.

He is a very social liberal and a very fiscal conservative... according to what I've heard awhile back before he married Eunice's kid. I'm not that 'very' and I don't think he acts well at all..

He is quite possibly the easiest 'top tier' candidate to beat. You know how much crap they will have on him?

No. Easy to beat. Arnolds never lost at anything he's tried, contruction business, bb, acting, realestate etc etc. A winner though and though. Will return California to Glory....to bad he can't run for Furer.

Arnold can barely speak audible english. He has no experience in politics. Running a whole state is much more difficult than saying "I'll be back" in broken English. What is worse is that Arnold is a liberal republican. I don't think he's going to win. As someone said earlier, the tabloids will be going hardcore. We already have allegations of steroids and of him being ladies man. If he wins, Calfornia will be a bigger laughing stock than Rush Limbaugh.

Is that better or worse than the current situation?

Yes it has been almost 7% in california for a while now.

Exactly. It could easily hit double digits like it did 20 years ago. 10.6% with a smaller labor force too. This one is much larger with millions of illegals.

Just Make california a bit more business friendly and people will likely stop moving away from California.

I love Arnold. I'm going to hate petitioning to have him removed. Oh yeah, me and Willy Brown are going to start a petition to remove the new governor the minute he gets in. Then Clinton can come out from NY and win. It will be awesome.

His dad was a Nazi but I don't visit the sins of the father...
