You have a new governor. No matter that he has little education, knows
nothing about politics, has never studied political science, or law, he's a Republican, and that's all that counts, right?!! |

The real governing will be done by his rw handlers, behind the scenes. My hat's off to the whole rw recall deal. Sweetly done. It should, (and probably will), be recorded in political science textbooks as a classic case. If Arnold the movie star had been Arnold the CPA instead, with the exact same business and political background, he would have pulled in only a few hundred votes from the entire state. Oh well, good for the goose is good for the gander. If the star struck public is going to vote for absolutely unqualified actors for important public office, we have a lot more of them to the left than they have to the right. Do the moderates and liberals have the same will to manipulate the public as do the extreme conservatives? Time will tell. :-) |

Well remember the reference in "Demolition Man" to the Schwarzenegger
Presidential Library? This is just the first step! "basskisser" wrote in message m... You have a new governor. No matter that he has little education, knows nothing about politics, has never studied political science, or law, he's a Republican, and that's all that counts, right?!! |

Too bad you had to try to spin the win with your political bias. It is unbecoming of you Chuck. California spoke. Live with it. |

"R". Nor did many others. McClintock was the best Republican candidate. I would like to see how many Dems voted for the guy. A bunch. They all think Californina politics will become exciting as a Terminator movie. :-( Too bad you had to try to spin the win with your political bias. It is unbecoming of you Chuck. That is my honest opinion. They have elected a celebrity, not a proven administrator, into a situation where a proven administrator is required. Good luck, CA. Hopefully, the interests that bankrolled the $1mm required to unseat Davis know something about governing and they can instruct Arnold effectively. California spoke. Live with it. They did. Makes no diffy woo to me, except as further proof that California continues to be the Enchanted Land of Fruits and Nuts. http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveilla...0011031_eff_us a_patriot_analysis.php |

No matter that he has little education, knows nothing about politics, has never studied political science, or law, he's a Republican, and that's all that counts, right?!! Arnold is NOT the kind of lockjawed Republican the neo-con-victs wanted. Obviously, he's quite liberal socially, and his positions indicate he's a fiscal moderate. In other words, he's a throwback to the moderate to liberal Republicans of the 1960s and 1970s, before that party went nutso. Remember, it was Richard Nixon who gave us wage-price controls and who opened the door to the PRC. And while he was a "conservative" for those days, by his party's standards today, he'd be considered a dirty commie pinko. I would have preferred that the Democrats kept the California statehouse, but I don't have any serious issues with Arnold as a politician. Not yet. I respect him as a self-made man of accomplishment and in his serious moments, he seems bright enough. He's certainly more capable and smarter than, say, George W. Bush. The people of California made a choice, and now it is up to Arnold to work with the Democrats and do what he can to help resolve that state's issues. I hope he is successful. |
