Just popped up on the ol' Fox News ticker... Arnold Schwarzenegger will indeed run for Governor of California.

Most of them already hold office in California.
bonocrazy88 said:I would vote for him...I think it puts politics and everything a little lighter than it was...i mean you see on CNN all the anchors with their poker faces saying "Yes, Schwarzenegger, star of such movies as Terminator 3, will be running for governor." It's funny. And there could be a helluva lot of ppl who would be worse for the job.

Wonders if Doug (nbcrusader) will vote for this pro-choice moderate?

I can see why the best candidates for the job always lose.

It is funny how the Dems make a big issue out of abortion in the state elections. Last I checked, the California govenor couldn't ban abortions if they wanted to. It is a non-issue.
His position doesn't disqualify him in my book.

Riordan would have most likely beat Davis last Nov. and we would not be having this circus.

nbcrusader said:Residents are tired of over-priced electricity. Now they are getting their car registration renewals at three time last year's cost.
isn't it stretching it just a bit to blame all of that on one man?

thurco said:Arnold's an intelligent guy, he became a millionaire through investing in real estate long before he became famous as an actor, and he's done a lot for the state of California, especially for schools, plus his work for the Special Olympics is well-known- so I don't think most people are discounting Arnold because he's an actor or because he's Austrian. They find humor in the fact that the man famous for playing Conan the Destroyer and The Terminator could possibly join the elite club of governors. Schwarzenegger even finds himself funny, he was definitely poking fun at himself in Last Action Hero, Kindergarten Cop, Junior, and Jingle All the Way by putting himself in fish out-of-water scenarios. Would a line like, "It's not a tumor!" / "It's nahda toomah!" (Kindergarten Cop) be funny if said by another actor? Arnold not only made it funny, but famous. He even tries to work catch phrases from his movies when he talks. It's all in good fun.
