True. Still, the fact is that Arnold's campaign seems remarkably similar to Perot's.

I dunno about the Perot comparison to Schwarzenegger. At least as good a comparison can be made to McClintock:

-- getting about 17% in the polls; and
-- running as a culturally conservative alternative to "the Republican who SAID he wouldn't raise taxes," but whom many don't believe will keep his promise.

The only comparisons with Arnold that resound with me are that Arnold tends to give superficial, sound-bite answers, and that he is a wealthy, self-made man with no substantial government experience.

Arnold's campaign is not even close to Perot! What a dumb thing to say. I was in Texas when Perot ran and know all about little big ears! You see I haven't spent my whole adult life living in one place. Perot didn't have a bunch of advisors surrounding him to give advice. Only person Perot wanted advice from was himself. There is no more arrogant person than Ross Perot who helped make Texas Education really bad!

That comment just shows how little you know about either campaign. I cannot believe anyone would compare the two.

The spoiler in this campaign is McC not Arnold so the campaign that is like Perot isn't Arnold.
