Sorry, but California is not a battleground state in my opinion. It will go for Kerry. The state is still Democrat by a large majority. The reason Schwarzenegger won the recall is because he's a celebrity- bottom line. The young and middle-aged people of that state thought it'd be "cool" to have the "Terminator" as their Governor. The same thing happened in Minnesota a few years ago, when Jesse "The Body" Ventura became Governor. As sad as it is, celebrities sell in politics.

Okay, so if people listen to Schwarzenegger because of his star power... if he says to vote for Bush, just how many of the people who turned out to vote for him will vote for Bush? If what you say is true, then this is an ADVANTAGE for Bush, because he can now use that star power to gain voters.
