Somehow, this shows just how stupid this portion of the constitution is. Jefferson clearly was one of our greatest leaders and greatest presidents.

If Kissinger had not been born in Germany, he would have been president, not Ford, because Nixon would have appointed him VP.

Wow, I am surprised by the adult nature of this thread..no wild pro-Ahnold Parties...

As for him, may whatever non-human omnicient being you believe him have mercy on the our rather large boy from Graz, cause he just got a damn lousy job.

Why did people vote for him? What plan does he have to solve the HUGE budget problem, or a way he will deal with a solidly Democratic legistlature? All he said, in both debates and sound bites, was critism and blame for the past.

All this talk of plans and experience...

Did gray davis have a plan? and if he did, it sure as hell didn't matter. And what about all his awesome experience in government? hmmm...that helped out alot too....

I guess that is all you need to say about the "he has no plan or experience" argument.

The only good thing to come out of this election is that it shows people are fed up with the economy, which means BUSH IS SCREWED! I won't be suprised if we have the highest voter turnout in years. It will also be the first time I can vote (I turn 18 next April).

Ned, Kissinger should be thrown in jail as a war criminal.

It's obvious that his plan is to 'Kick some Butt'*

(* An amusing phrase which is but another testament to his political naievity. The man is not Winston Churchill**)

(** Winston Churchill would have lost in California, so would any other 'Good' candidate. Arnold is 'OK' and that's really all that Republicans and California can get)

Explain Howard Dean's campaign platform to me so that you can prove that you aren't just culturally opposing Bush because that is what is fashionable. PM it to me, I don't really care, this is for you, not me.

Not going to happen. Kissinger did his job.

Perhaps. But, that the time, he had just won the Nobel Prize and was extremely popular across the board - even with Democrats.

[Saint Marcus]

Re: turnout

where did the 53% come from? Was this percentage of eligible voters? 70% is the percentage of registered voters. Comparing registered voters to registered voters, only a little more than 50% of the registered voters in CA voted in the last statewide election.

This is from the sectary of state website. They have all the stats. Some counties did get around 60% turn out, the average for the entire state is 53.3%. Only about 8,000,000 votes were casted in a state with 15,000,000 voters. That is correct. Were did you get your information????

Check this link:

http://vote2003.ss.ca.gov/Returns/status.htm

It has the voter turn out for every county and the total voter turnout.

[pchang]

Should have known better than to trust CNN statistics.

[Jack_www]

Well now with 100% Precincts reporting the final turout is 54.3% of all voters. So it went up one percent.

Also Arnold has 3,744,132 votes, and this is 48.7% of all the votes casted in the second question.
