"What makes real candidates? Someone that's been at the public trough most of their life?..... If so then, yes those two are the real candidates....."

Fair enough question, but note that the most professional and knowledgeable candidate happened to be Tom McClintock.

Arnold has made a good case for his qualifications as a businessman and someone who has done much for charities, etc., as a commited citizen. But Peter Ueberroth had an even better track record there, especially his leadership in the olympics; the difference in the polls of course was/is Arnold's celebrity status as an actor, not his community involvement with special olympics or after-school programs or (god forbid) being a budget expert.

Now, Arriana has no more reason to be in the debate than the other 130 or so non-professional never-elected candidates who are also in low single digits. Her "celebrity" status is of a particularly parasitic and useless kind.

Thanks for the response.... That's my point in some ways..... Only two should have had the complete or at least the most knowledge of the CA government and it's interal workings because only two were long time politicos......

Thanks.....
