Well I don't think it's safe to make fun of Arnold, like so many people are doing, because upon doing so he will break into your home, smash your coffee table and say something Arnold-esque like "TABLES TURNED".
Seriously, though, I don't think this was such a good idea...the MTV culture victems will probably vote Arnold.

I would like Arnold as our governor, it would be something new... Something new is certainly not always something good...I don't think it's a good idea to trust one of our best states in the hands of someone so unexperienced...

See, now people can't laugh at just Florida for having a recall. Poor Floridian's....I feel for you. It happened after I moved, but that's not the point. It must be something in the oceans.......

I live in the bay area.
Your right Crono, gray davis blows. He fucking sold our energy, and fucked teh state while he got off scott free. Time to put an end to that. i think arnold will do it nicely. I heard Jesse ventura is running. Is that true?
Good music tastes snk. I love the sonic youth. Do you have their "sister" album?

Yeah. Its a complicated issue and happened when i was 12 so im not the best source for it but ill do my best (help me out people): Remember the enron thing? Well what that was was the us government making it so tehbuying and selling of energy was way less restriced. So gray davis sold california energy to enron, making loads of money but since the demand was the same and the supply was much lower, the cost went way up, hence the black outs. And beofre the whole scam was revealed, Gray davis got a shit load of money and so did enron execs, while screwing the people woh had their retirements comprised of enron stocks. Gray davis also is extremely corrupt, and an avid polluter. Sure, most governors are, but gray davis is over teh top in these issues.
Dont most governors have minimal experiece the first time they run? Or do you think arnold should run for a lesser office first?

I think it's kind of rediculous when his main excuse for not having the recall is that having the recall "will only cost more money". After looking in to the matters more, I think that Arnlod is actually the best candidate.

Well, california is in a pretty big deficit, and something as big as a recall could drain the budget and cause some turmoil, however davis sucks so bad, teh recall is definetely a good thing.
I dont think schwarzenegger is that great. I mean, he said publicly that he wont be making the decisions, rather hell be turning them over to his board of advisors. So he seems like a sort of empty symbol to me.

So he seems like a sort of empty symbol to me. He also doesn't have a solid set of opinions, so basically his acting fame is the only thing going for him. Just watch: he will learn quickly--if he loses the race, there is no doubt that he will shape up and take another stab at it.

Only problem is, it seems hes got the majority of california convinced, so voting for any one else seems like a lost cause.
