LOL....well, look, like I said: this is for CA voters to figure out. I just wish them the best. It will be heartbreaking though, if Arnold, with no political experience whatsoever, turns out to be a bigger flop as CA gov than Davis. I would think McClintock, with 20 years of proposing the ideas that CA now wants, might be able to get CA to a better place -- but maybe I am wrong. Who knows. The CA voters will decide it. :)

Ronald Reagan has NO political experience when he was elected governor back in 1966. George W. Bush had NO political experience when he was elected governor of Texas in 1994. They did excellent jobs in the statehouse and both went on to be terrific presidents.

Same here. But, I still reserve the right to comment on political events in other states that affect people who I admire and respect. I used to live in California, and would be sad if Bustamante was elected by default because otherwise good, intelligent people stoned each other to death even before the election was held.

And maybe Schwarzenegger can help usher in a new era of prosperity in the Golden State. And, former actors have a pretty darned good track record in California politics :)

Have you looked at the numbers in the last 10 or so years? The man's got some fine ideas, but I reserve judgement on saying that "CA now wants" them. He simply can't win, not in the current political climate in California.

All true. However it comes out though, I sincerely hope that the people of California get the government (and the governor) they deserve.
