Fine. But we'll make you go live in Otisville if we do.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I think Arnold will win.
He'll suck on ice (as he knows shit about politics)but the people will love him anyway for his charisma.
Scary that the spokesman for the least fuel-efficent vehicle on the road will run the state with the most environmentsl concerns, is'nt it?

Still, it should be fun to watch him bluster on imporntant national decisions (his viewpoint on military actions alone will be pricelessly funny.
Get ready for non-stop catchphrases once he wins.

Mabye Micheal Beihn could run against him, he's die in the process, but Arnold would be crushed in some metal press contaption or something...

1.) California does not have an appreciably greater number of environmental problems than any other state. Alaska is melting, for instance.

2.) It is rather unlikely the governor of California will have much at all to say about national policies which do not reflect his or her state, beyond the vague reinforcement of party affiliations that all politicians engage in. (Those with party affiliations, anyway.)

3.) It appears more recent polls do indeed place Mr. Schwarzenegger at the front of the pack.

Considering I watched Arnold make the announcement at the NBC studio... I'd say he does have a sure chance on winning. He has the name recognition, the cash, and California economy in the crapper to help him win.

But, what does it mean to gay rights when he's elected, or public health and social programs... I don't know. He is a Republican but married to a Kennedy... I'll just wait and see what happens.

I think we should take all the declared candidates and lock 'em up in the state mental hospital. Considering how badly things are screwed up out here, anybody who actually wants the job has got to be certifiable!

He apparently believes in gay adoption and more money for social services. I had an article. But I lost it. However, no-one ever reads those things anyway, so let's just pretend that I linked to it, m'kay?

I kinda figured he supports gay right because he has worked in Hollywood for years... the social programs are something not new also since he pushed a ballot measure a few years ago to fund afterschool programs.

Hopefully he can figure out how to navigate between Republican and Demorcrat waters.

When I'm not in the middle of the Gulf I live in California. Although my residence is still listed as South Carolina. If I changed it to Cali and were actually there I would vote for him. Can't be any worse than Jesse Ventura.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on one's point of veiw), Arnold won't win. Republicans make up about 40% of California's population, and they'll pretty much be split three ways between the three Republican candidates. Arnie's way too liberal for most of them.

Gary Coleman is only running because the town he lives in essentially put him up to it.

My money's on Bustamente.

So.... If Arnie is only winning because of name recognition, if he were not in the race who would be the front-runner?

Gary Coleman? Angeline? Wacky prop comic Gallager?

Actually, from seeing his shows on TV, I may have a better idea of Gallager's platform than any of the other candidates!

As a moderate member of the vast right wing conspiracy, (VRWC) I'm afraid the while I like Arnie, and most of his proposed policies, a couple of his positions are a little too left of center for me. I guess if I lived in California I'd just run myself!
