As someone who generally supports Schwarzenegger (except when he's wrong!), I agree. No need to amend the Constitution.
As a senator, he'd be an improvement over Barbara Boxer. But then again, my appendix would be in improvement over Boxer.
And it was removed in '74!
He'd not be my first choice, nor my second, nor my third, nor my fourth... but since Boxer would be my dead-last choice, he'd come ahead of her.

It was one thing for the Communist/socialist Black Caucus to challange in that way. It's expected. And the left is generally very condescending towards its minority vote (given the nature of the leading leftist spokesmouths for that minority, perhaps it's reasonable, if it weren't otherwise SOP for the leftist, in everything). But for the white and wealthy Boxer to do this, in pandering to the Michael Moore/McGovern wing, which is the bulk of the party, seemed almost a violation of D.C. courtesies - which is apparently the greatest sin, to those who won't otherwise confess the notion of sin. She was boorish, crude, that is, as seen by fellow insider leftists. It may be the thing for which she'll be remembered, even if now, contemporaneously, it's been almost ignored by both the liberal and conservative press.
Arnold is a fine governor, he is making the liberals very nervous, because he is sticking to his no new taxes pledge and is cutting spending.
Let's keep him governor for another term.
I think this whole thing about an amendment to have him run for president is a red herring, trying to turn people, who support Arnold, against him. He would also not be interested to be a Senator. Why would he want to be one of 100. He ran for governor to help California, not because he wanted fame and fortune -- he already had it.
Sorry Kennedys but you will not get back into the White House thru Arno either......
