Arnold could have been a great Governor...

I beg to differ. Arnold could never have been a good governor. He didn't have any experience that would have qualified him for the job. He was never a real conservative and he was always a mega-hypocrite. The idea that he was the green governor is a joke. Plus he never had good political instincts and really isn't very bright. Also the guy never had any principles and only cared about himself and his legacy. I think he really believed the hype and BS about him going to Sacramento and kicking butt. The guy went to Sacramento and got rolled. He is so caught up in the make believe world of Hollywood that he forgot about the real world if he ever knew anything about it.

In short the guy is a clown and a buffoon and his is a legacy of failure. He will go down as the governor on watch while the state imploded. If Californians had any sense (which they don't), they would have elected Tom McClintock as governor back in the recall election of 2003. He would have started working on the underlying problems of the state from day one. We (yes I live in CA) would be a damn site better off today if we had elected McClintock. But that's not what important. It's important that we have a movie star as governor. I weep.

While I understand what you are saying, he was given a great oppurtunity, the choice to fight for what is right, we can argue about it, but he still had a choice. He blew, big time!

Son, This is Callifornya. Disney Land Writ Large, The roar of the grease paint, the smell of the crowd! The show must go on even if the show can't go on, so

Actors become politicians and politicians are required to be actors. Hollywood is the real world and Sacramento is Fantasyland.

The price of the tickets are a little steep, but how I do love a good show!

After the earthquake that kills tens of thousands, Tom McClintock or maybe a Duncan Hunter conservative might win a statewide election.

Massive property destruction and loss of life are necessary before change
