    Ok, I guess. Michael's still a bastard.

            MtG, I think you are underestimating Arnold's name recognition and inherent likeability. He will draw votes from across the political spectrum. The hard left may be the only people who will have a difficulty with Schwarzenegger.

            I predict that Arny will get more than 50% of the vote in a very crowded ballot. Bustamonte may come in second, but I doubt he pulls more than 30%.

            Let's see what the early polling data shows.

              MtG -
              With Bustamante, they get one of their own, with a lot of power and decent relations (as much as any ranking state Dem has) with the Republicans in the legislature, and they also get the chance for Bustamante to appoint his own replacement, so the boat doesn't get rocked at all.
              But that's a big problem for the Dems, their pandering to special interests is one reason why California is in financial trouble. Facing a guy who has no obvious ties to special interests with the most politically connected guy in the state is going to hurt them big.

              From the article:
              And Republicans who think they can hit him on culture issues (he smoked pot as a young bodybuilder) will find their bullets bouncing off him as if he were a machine.
              Hmm...so Ahnold smoked pot. Will he support punishing others for doing what he did?

                          I'd vote for Arnold

                          1. He has no political experience. With the way politics is today, thats a good thing.

                          2. He has no special interests, sure he might propse a bush-esque tax cut, but besides that I think he genuinely wants whats best for California.

                          3. He alone could enforce the law.
