I always hate it when people are compared to others "he may be the new Michael Jordon" or "could he beat the BABE's record?" that kind of stuff is irrelevant...the BIG question is: Will California be BETTER off with Arnold as Governor - YES! Will republicans benefit from this unexpected windfall - YES! OK, then the rest is up to Arnold to prove once he's the GOVERNATOR!

ah... I beg to differ... Repubs will NOT be better off with
a Rockefeller/spender Repub in office like AS! Usher in
gay marriage does not make CA better and appointing pro-
abortion judges/anti-death penalty judges does not make any
CA-ians better off other than Parsky and the elites.
I'd rather Greyout continue to kill the golden goose as a
Dem than have AS kill the CA Repub party as it is blamed for the fiscal meltdown...
Where was AS in the last election? Not one fundraiser for
a CA Repub candidate??? What a uniter! --NOT

Will republicans benefit from this unexpected windfall - YES!

Sorry to throw the icy water of reality on this, but the odds strongly say they will not. This mess won't be solved, or even improved, any time soon. Arnold--or anyone else--can't just go in and void laws, for example, the union contracts. He can't change the idiots in the legislature. And when there is little or no improvement, who gets blamed? Nope, this tar baby has stuck to Doofus Davis and the Republicans are about to step in it also.

You summed up the situation nicely.

Pack it in, Rush & Cal! You're being recalled and replaced -- by Princess Leah.
