Terminator to Run for Governor: If State Needs Him

New York, NY

[Mister Magoo]

He's running.

[patriciaruth]

Schwarzenegger went on to become one of the world's biggest action movie stars with The Terminator series and such hits as Total Recall

Be fun if his next hit was Total Recall II: Dumping Davis.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yeah, and he ought to just keep on running, too, straight into the Pacific. Keep this liberal RINO creep the hell away from office.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That will be starring Tom McClintock.

[freedom44]

Arnold rules!!

He came to this country and embraced it with a passion rarely seen.

I really consider him a hero.

[spokeshave]

Question is can he overcome the reported negatives ...perhaps fooling around is a plus in Kalifonica

[goldstategop]

I think people want to hear what he says on the campaign trail first. The RINO Riordan turned off a lot of people by campaigning for tax increases and courting extreme liberal groups. Will be interesting to see if Arnie makes the same mistakes.

[old school]

First of all, he's no Ronald Reagan. I'd prefer someone of substance, with a proven track record, as opposed to some icon! As a matter of fact, I'm not likely to vote for anyone, who has the implicit endorsement of Richard Riordan! California needs a "real," conservative, Republican, the likes of Tom McClintock, to set the record straight in this time of crisis. Even a novice, such as, Bill Simon is preferrable to the best, that the so-called moderates have to offer!

[patriciaruth]

I hope the Republicans get together and make a decision about who will challenge Davis if the recall election takes place.

I certainly don't want us all splitting our vote.

[Slyfox]

Come on, Conan. One punch.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You must have a really low bar set for hero. Cheating on your wife and molesting women ain't heroic in my book.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fooling around is a positive... as long as you run as a 'Rat.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The advice will be for him to not openly come out for such things and groups (presumably Tricky Dick would've learned his lesson to teach his turgid charge). But I know not to trust what RINOs say, but keep note of their record and who they hang around with. He hangs with the Dickster, and that's all we need to know.

[thegreatbeast]

No single personality is needed. I don't like that as a stance.

God doesn't choose the qualified. God qualifies the chosen.

[fieldmarshaldj]

If the RINO establishment fully coronates him (and Tricky Dick already has), there will definitely be a vote split. I will strongly urge my CA friends and family to vote against his candidacy and for McClintock's. Mainstream Republican voters who are Conservative will not vote for a liberal RINO. They, we, want a GOP agenda put forth, not a RINO enacting 'Rat legislation.

[patriciaruth]

I'm not even sure I want Davis recalled, as these are tough times in CA and I want Davis to take the blame for the "solutions" to his ineptitude.

But I'll vote for just about anybody else to replace Davis. Frankly, I'll probably check the polls before the election and vote for the most popular Republican.

I'm not the type to go down with a sinking ship if there is a life raft available, even if was made in China or France.

[martin_fierro]

Davis would resign long before an election, keeping his party in the Governor's seat. Bank on it.

[Weimdog]

RINO, RINO, RINO, When are we going to wake up and realize a Conservative Republican will NOT be elected Governor in California.

The demographics in this state have changed. All you have to look at is the last election. Not a single Republican elected to statewide office. Why? California is overwhelmingly controlled by DEMOCRATS!

To begin the slow crawl back to retaking the state, the Republicans must put up a Moderate (RINO) for Governor and build from there, with our eyes on the Assembly.

The Socialist controlled Assembly is the real problem IMHO.

[Capitalist Eric]

I'm not the type to go down with a sinking ship if there is a life raft available, even if was made in China or France.

Or Austria.

A pragmatic truth that fieldmarshaldj refuses to recognize. (((sigh)))

Be well...

"God doesn't choose the qualified. God qualifies the chosen. "

I haven't heard it stated this way before. I like it. So true.
