Agree.
I do think Arnold MAY turn out to be much more than a small victory.
IF he manages to shred the political machine in Sacramento--no small task--it will be a huge victory and reallllly serious business. If he just manages to terminally cripple it, it will still be a big victory.
If he 'merely' manages to show up the liberal brain dead democruds as idiots in a few key areas--it will still be a big victory.
If he 'merely' manages to rattle the democruds with some stark jerking into sane reality along some major principles and issues lines--it will be big victory.
If he 'merely' wakes up the dead armadillos in the middle of the road and SCARES the democruds into suicidal chaos and trauma before 2004--it will be a big victory.
IF he 'merely' convinces thousands of citizens that grass roots NON-PROFESSIONAL-POLITICOS CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT--it will be a huge victory.
IF he 'merely' enlists a chunk of energetic youth to stand up for The Republic, sanity and people power vs political machine power in the public arena, it will be a big victory.
IF he 'merely' give some hope to taxed-to-death; Shrillery-Commie-machine mangled citizens--it will be a big victory.
HE'S CLEARLY the best non-politician for the role. And NONE of the politicians could do 1/100th WHAT HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO.
PART of his power has not as much to do with his inate skills which are considerable--but WITH PEOPLE'S PERCPTIONS OF HIS SKILLS AND QUALITIES AND THEREFORE THEIR WILLINGNESS TO GIVE HIM SUPPORT ETC.
NO ONE can come close to him on that score.

Arnold will be as good a Republican as Jim Jeffords has turned out to be.

AND " IF he 'merely' " helps gets rid of Davis, so we don't have to try to get rid of him later when he is stronger...

*bingo*!!
You've just stated what I have been thinking. You are absolutely 100% correct because Ah-nold is not a politician, but a primal force of nature.
One Terminator good line on TV and the constituents of any recalcitrant Rat in Sacramento will come looking for his head - that will put the fear of the Almighty into the Rats, and they'll fall in line like the Rats did in Congress in '81 for RR.
Out.
