well, nobody is right all the time, but Arnold has a pretty darn good bettin average, I would say.

Going from penniless immigrant to being in charge of the World's 5th largest economy is no small feat. Especially, since he did it through hard work and determination, brains and brawn.

Thanks for the ping.

Governor Arnold is a smashing success thus far. We backed and supported the right man.

Most actors make their big break based on looks, or being in the right place at the right time. Schwarzenegger had to fight tooth and nail to get where he is, overcoming seemingly insurmountable obsticles, his accent and miserable initial acting abilities.

I think his having to work so hard educated him to some real world truths that most Hollywierd types have no insights about. His business acumen seems far superior to most, inclucing those holding office in Sacramento.

Arnold has previously made only one other career change.

Having absolutely dominated his first-chosen career by retaining the Championship of the World for more than half a decade, he then became the most successful entertainer in the history of the Human Species.

And now, starting out with more than 60% of the vote, he is the Republican Governor of California?

I'll stick with Arnie!
