Anorld Schwarzenegger to run for California Gov.

That's why I'm glad I'm in the center of Earth... I mean, Arizona. :p

Of course, you never know. He might make for a good governor.

You can't base a candidate's actions based on their political affiliation. After all, there isn't much difference between the two anymore.

I'd quote Lewis Black here, but I'm not sure if it'd be inappropriate for these boards.

I don't know about you, but I like how he pointed out that he won't be influenced by special interest groups buying his vote, because he doesn't need any more money.

Any time you can get a governor who has good morals (c'mon! Larry Flynt?!?), and can't be bought out by PAC's and such, you should take it.

Lol, yeah nothing to be done in the economy... "Well since California is down the tubes anyways... I suppose I'll give my friends in the government lots of raises... 90% of salary pensions... and I'll give the state a bigger deficit than 48 of the other states BUDGETS combined!"

I like that he's running. He doesn't have much of a political background, so it'd be a difficult task. I actually don't want a republican to win... because I don't want my party to be stuck with the impossible task of fixing California.

But I think no one honestly believes Gray Davis will be re-elected... his approval ratings are like 19%... and thats the hard-core liberal crowd that wouldn't waver even if he was caught with drugs or something.

Grey Davis can't be re-elected. He's on his 2nd term right now. In California you can only run twice then you have to pick 2 new candidates.

The whole Gray Davis debacle (IMO) is like this: He inherited a crappy situation that the he replaced, a Republican I might add, had created. This Republican named Pete Wilson de-regulated all the electrical companies which allowed the power shortage and Enron to basically bend us over and ream us Californains big time. Ever since then Gray Davis has been literally bakstepping. And George W had a hand on this too since he was somehow connected to Enron and told Gray Davis to fix it or ELSE!

But the joke is all the candidates that's running for Govenor besides Arnold. There's Gary Coleman, local celebrity Angeline, some lady owner of a bar, and a DJ from KROQ (not sure on that one).

1st post! WHEE!
 
i NEVER believe any candidate who says HE WILL NOT be influenced by special interest... politics is MORE than just about $$ or power but FAVORS =/

Issa had his own money? Bill SImon has his own $$$ ~ but what a dork =/ I would have wanted RIORDAN (former mayor of LA) <- who while mayor was paid $1 per year while in office.

HE made mistakes, he learned from them BUT when he had a commission re-write the LA Charter and HIS influence of the LAUSD school board he was like all other wheeler and dealers with TOO much $$, to much influence, and TOO much megalomania =/

I really do no think this is the right time to choose an inexperienced candidate...

*shudders*
 
No, he CAN be re-elected because this is a recall, not an election. And btw, I'm not familiar with the California fiscal situation, but I DO know Davis isn't innocent. Giving out 90% of salary pensions to his friends in government ISN'T how you solve a state budget problem. And it's gotten WAY out of line since he's been elected.

Uh wow Arnold is doing so much right...
BUT i will NOT vote for him.

Hiring economic experts, etc. ROB LOWE? WTH?

Uh but do you realize who his cronies are?

Pete Wilson anyone... DAVIS had to inherit the wonderful DEregulation of the utilities... sure it ain't ALL Davises' fault.

AND the wonderful PROPOSITIONS he supported; only good thing that came out of that is THAT it ruined WILSON's chances of running for president =)

I find it kind of different for an actor to run. Think it's a bit of a populatiry game to see who wins. But that's just my opinion ;/

Thats what Im saying.Dont get me wrong he's a good actor I just dont want him as mayor of CA.Im not voting for him,whos with me. ;)
 
Well Arnold lost my vote when he said he would do only 1 debate and that's if the questions are already prepared for him. BLEH!

Gray Davis lost my vote thanks to him signing in a bill letting illegal aliens get Drivers Licenses. I'm sorry but that's wrong. It should be something that if you want to become a citizen of the U.S.A. it should something you earned, not like something you get at Jack-in-the-Box.

Looks like my vote is going for CRUZ BUSTAMENTE!!!! But if I could vote for the comedy, I say Gary Coleman or the pornstar.

WHO's WITH ME?!?!?
 
I like Cruz but HOW much different can HE be from Davis =(

Illegals or for CA RESIDENTS. Even the NEWS reporting is BIASED.

Ya know, FOR THE LIFE of me I CANNOT understand why Davis SIGNED SB60, IN MY COMMUNITY, they are happy with DAVIS but...

The Latino Community is so complex that THIS did not BUY all those LATINOs votes

BUT IT ASSURED him being recall with the 1/3 of the population THAT actually gets out there and votes.

???HUH???
