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.

I agree with you that both Reagan and Bush had more experience than Arnold now. But whom would you rather see handling a financial crisis? Arnold has built a business empire, and I don't think he did it just by pumping muscles everyday. There's got to be a brain in there somewhere or else he would have ended up like bimbos like Kim Basinger and knuckleheads like Martin Sheen. Or would your rather have Gray Doofus, who's business sense has already caused disastrous results for California? Or how about Cruz? The guy who called blacks the "n-word" and then said he didn't mean it? California is in this mess because of politicians. It's time to let a non-politician take a crack at solving the problems.
