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.

Like I said, if Arnold, I hope he is not an even bigger flop thatn Davis. If Arnold does win, and is a flop, that might not bode well for GW in 2004.

I'm a pragmatic Arnold supporter, but both Bush and Reagan had more political experience than Arnold.

Reagan led the Eureka College student body on a strike when a number of professors were fired, and the professors were rehired. He served as SAG president, which with the communist infiltration in Hollywood, was a political job-- he even testified before Congress on the subject and in defense of freedom. In 1964, he burst onto the national stage with a speech at the GOP convention supporting Goldwater-Miller '64.

Bush ran for Congress in 1978, winning 47% of the vote against an incumbent Democrat. He also served as a Senior Advisor in the George HW Bush for President Campaigns and is rumored to have been the one to "fire" Chief of Staff John H. Sununu for using a White House helicopter to whisk himself off to a rare-stamp convention.
