Very perceptive for an old country boy.
In fact, they aren't sustainable. Even more interesting, from inside the beltway, is that they aren't sustainable within the current election cycle.
That's very curious don't you think? Why would Schwarzenegger develop a tactic that would harm his campaign for reelection just when the campaign begins (winter 2005)? Very curious indeed.
He saw what happened to Jesse the body, and will NOT let that EVER happen to him. It's not worth it to him, because, never forget... It's all about him at the end of the day!!! If he gets an opening in the constitution to run for President in time, that's his next step.
But he's not going to stick around CA to find out how fickle the electorate can be and how really thankless the job of Governor, made impossible by fanatical leftist can be. I'm not the only one who believes this scenario, by the way. Only a miracle would interest him in staying on in this mess that he's going to be unable to sustain!!!
He's a businessman! Businessmen don't knock themselves out at his level unless there's an anticipation of lots and lots of nothing but GLORY! I'm not smearing him, just observing and noticing what motivates the man. He's ambitious, but not stupid like most policy wonks!!!
