Hah! I saw the funniest thing on the Daily Show the other day. It had a clip of Arnold in a school with little kids, and he was asking them what they should do about violence. A kid said something about not using violence, then Arnold had to tell an associate, that we should "Not resort to violence." John Stewart: That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Terminator says that we shouldn't resort to violence.

Thats true. Signing up for a 2nd sequel with morals opposite yours (though were not quite sure whats his are) doesnt give you a very good impression of that person at all.

This is the most ridiculous event I have ever seen in the history of politics. The people of California are removing a guy just because they don't like the job he's doing. He's done nothing scandalous(forgive my spelling) or anything of the kind, and he is being booted out.
As for Schwarzenegger, I think his popularity will drop so fast your head will spin. He has no substance and is a very unappealing candidate for this kind of crisis. He has no plan to deal with it and will not likely produce one that will solve the problem.

Gray Davis is absolutely horrid. Hes fucked everything in california, ran our budget 20 miles into the ground, and cheated us out of our power. And if we dont like the job hes doing, we have every right to boot him.
And schwarzenegger is losing, though not by much. Call med a hipocrit, but seeing who hes got as advisors and the fact that we need a party change makes me think he could be apretty good option, though its still hela funny.

All it is now is a giant popularity contest. The fact that Gary Colemen is running is just a joke (especially since hes a democrat ;D)

Not anymore. Its bustamante and schwarzenegger now. McClintock(*cough*Nazirightwingbastard*cough*) could easily tie Schwarzenegger with Simon dropping out and those right-wing votes going to McClintock. Bustamante will probably win on the second question. However, I think the recall may be voted down. It is already loosing support as people see how ridiculous it is.

I remember something about Bill Simon and Gray Davis.
"AIDS or HIV, which one do you want the least?" That's an example of the election. Anyway, to be honest, I rather have Mr. Terminator run instead of Gray Davis running California again. ><;
But.. I agree with Sokar, Predator should run for office as governor. =P

Businesses will loose confidence in the state, leave, and create unemployment.

I doubt it would be that drastic.

I doubt it would be that drastic. You wanna bet? Moodys(the credit rating agency) has already downgraded your debt to a shade or two above junk citing the recall. New governments mean unpredictable spending and tax policies. A dipping state credit rating has a ripple effect that hurts businesses headquartered in the state.
