McClintock is the Perot of this election

Backwards. Perot was an empty suit, just like Arnold.

Well, if you're completely ignorant about him you would say that. Here's some smart's for you:

"Mr. Schwarzenegger's biography exemplifies the American dream. Determined to make it in the Hollywood movies he saw in his native Austria, he first spent countless hours training to become a world champion bodybuilder in an unheated gym in his parent's home. At age 21, he came to America in 1968 with little money and even less command of English. A natural capitalist, he bought up office buildings and apartment complexes before he ever made a film. His business empire now includes shopping malls, a Boeing 747 he leases to an airline, and a large chunk of Santa Monica real estate. He took evening courses in business at UCLA, and earned a bachelor's degree in business by mail from the University of Wisconsin at Superior. Over the course of several years he wooed and won Maria Shriver. He became the highest-paid actor in the history of movies, pulling down $30 million for this summer's "Terminator 3."

His charitable activities include a foundation that provides after-school programs for 200,000 kids and served as the inspiration for Proposition 49--an initiative he sponsored last year to expand after-school programs to every school in California. In a stroke of political genius, the initiative didn't raise taxes or cut any other program. Its funding mechanism only kicks in when economic growth naturally increases state revenues. Proposition 49 carried 50 out of the state's 53 congressional districts, winning endorsements from both Rep. Chris Cox, an Orange County Republican, and Rep. Henry Waxman, a Hollywood Democrat.
...
Bill Saracino, a former head of Gun Owners of California, believes that when it comes to conservatives evaluating Mr. Schwarzenegger, "the glass is half full or way more." He notes that Mr. Schwarzenegger has opposed strict gun controls and contributed to several free-market think tanks. He will no doubt make overtures to social conservatives." WSJ excerpt

He's surrounded himself with a very savy team, something that real leaders who are secure in themselves ( like Reagan ) do.

Sounds like a real "do-nothing" empty suit type to me /sarcasm
