October 2, 2003 -- SUDDENLY, it looks as if Arnold Schwarzenegger really will be California's next Governator. That has Republicans sporting giant grins as they ponder how that would change the political landscape and help boost President Bush in the 2004 election. For starters, it means any Democratic 2004 candidate stumping in California will have to go against the Terminator, who says Bush is doing a great job in Iraq and backed the war. Schwarzenegger was one of the few Hollywood stars to do a Bob Hope and visit U.S. troops.

An Arnold win would also leave Democrats fractured ....

Which is why they are scraping up any dirt they think will stop him.

Exactly. Its also an exercise in total desperation. Virtually the entire old media in California have come out against the recall but somehow it hasn't helped the Democrats. Can you picture just how badly divided they'll be next Wednesday morning? I can't wait til Oct. 7th!

Quite frankly, I think people are overestimating the importance of who the governor of a state is. That mattered a lot more back in the days of open machine politics, but it isn't that important anymore.

Case in point: In 2000, there were GOP governors in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida, and we were solemnly informed that this gave Bush a leg up in those states. On election day Gore carried three out of four, and darn near carried Florida, too. The moral to the story: It will take more than a Republican governor to make California competitive for Dubya in 2004.

A left wing liberal kennedy republican will do nothing to help the President get reelected.
