California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't saying no to taking on Sen. Barbara Boxer for her U.S. Senate seat, according to a report in SFGate.com.

Asked by a San Francisco Chronicle reporter at a recent Commonwealth Club of California appearance whether he ruled out a U.S. Senate run, the former action star said, “I have my hands full with all the stuff I’m doing now,” he said, referring to his ongoing budget crisis. “I’m concentrating on that and not what I’m going to do next. You know, I’m not a politician. I’m a public servant.” (See link for full article)

I had also heard that Diane Feinstein considered running for CA guv spot when Arnie term limits out. Pretty bleak future, either way.

Hey, Arnie.

Please, do rule it out.

We have enough RINOs in high office.

I’d like to see Boxer go, I just wish it was’nt a rino being asked to run, if in fact anybody’s asking.

California deserves its representatives in the statehouse and in Washington. An entire state (or at least a majority of it) that is completely clueless.

How can you call us "clueless" when, in the midst of financial ruin, we vote to build a wholly unnecessary multi-billion dollar bullet train?

Oh, wait, now I get it....

The British Rockers, Who, had a song about this with the perfect response to this announcement.

“We won’t get fooled again!”

I don’t mind as long as he actually switches parties instead of lying to the GOP that he’s a Republican.

I have a brother-in-law who works for the German gubmint. He calls himself a 'civil servant.' I want to slap one cheek off him when I hear that.

The average IQ of the Senate and of the State will both go down if Governator goes to the Senate and Boxer comes back to CA.
