OT congrats, Calif.
 
You have a new governor. No matter that he has little education, knows
nothing about politics, has never studied political science, or law,
he's a Republican, and that's all that counts, right?!!

Electable front man. The real governing will be done by his rw handlers, behind
the scenes.

My hat's off to the whole rw recall deal. Sweetly done. It should, (and
probably will), be recorded in political science textbooks as a classic case.

If Arnold the movie star had been Arnold the CPA instead, with the exact same
business and political background, he would have pulled in only a few hundred
votes from the entire state.

Oh well, good for the goose is good for the gander. If the star struck public
is going to vote for absolutely unqualified actors for important public office,
we have a lot more of them to the left than they have to the right. Do the
moderates and liberals have
the same will to manipulate the public as do the extreme conservatives? Time
will tell. :-)

Vell, let me tell you sumthing: Aaah-nult may be de Teuhminatah, but de problem
is that ve dun't know about his qualifications. That does not mean Aaaah-nult
is not qualified to be de Governor of Caleeforneea. It chust means ve don't
know foh schuah.

I think ve schould vait und zee.

Bezides: zome of us kint of LIKE talking like Aaaah-nult--even if ve ditn't vote
foah him ant thought it vas a BAD ideah.

Yes, he does have a degree from University of Wisconsin-Superior, granted in
1979 in International Business and Economics.

There was an interesting story about this from the LA Times News Service:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...on/6763126.htm

Schwarzenegger's film career was already reaching its stride when he was
recruited by U of W-S as a "cooperating faculty member." That position gave the
University a reason to waive the residency requirements and complete his degree,
largely by correspondence courses, according to the article.

Well remember the reference in "Demolition Man" to the Schwarzenegger
Presidential Library? This is just the first step!

I did not support the guy just because his political affiliation began with "R".

I would like to see how many Dems voted for the guy.

Too bad you had to try to spin the win with your political bias. It is unbecoming of
you Chuck.

California spoke. Live with it.

Nor did many others. McClintock was the best Republican candidate.

A bunch. They all think Californina politics will become exciting as a
Terminator movie. :-(

That is my honest opinion. They have elected a celebrity, not a proven
administrator, into a situation where a proven administrator is required. Good
luck, CA. Hopefully, the interests that bankrolled the $1mm required to unseat
Davis know something about governing and they can instruct Arnold effectively.

California spoke. Live with it.


They did. Makes no diffy woo to me, except as further proof that California
continues to be the Enchanted Land of Fruits and Nuts.

Arnold is NOT the kind of lockjawed Republican the neo-con-victs wanted.
Obviously, he's quite liberal socially, and his positions indicate he's a
fiscal moderate. In other words, he's a throwback to the moderate to liberal
Republicans of the 1960s and 1970s, before that party went nutso.

Remember, it was Richard Nixon who gave us wage-price controls and who
opened the door to the PRC. And while he was a "conservative" for those
days, by his party's standards today, he'd be considered a dirty commie
pinko.

I would have preferred that the Democrats kept the California statehouse,
but I don't have any serious issues with Arnold as a politician. Not yet. I
respect him as a self-made man of accomplishment and in his serious moments,
he seems bright enough. He's certainly more capable and smarter than, say,
George W. Bush.

The people of California made a choice, and now it is up to Arnold to work
with the Democrats and do what he can to help resolve that state's issues. I
hope he is successful.
