I don't know about the rest of the Americans, but "Ahnuld" would be a kick ass governor of California.

Heh, maybe.
I think he'd probably be as good as any of the other candidates. I don't think anybody can fix California. :)

Honestly, novelty value aside, I'd be REALLY wary of electing Arnold to run our state.

Are you buying an enchliada to spite him, or whatever Taco Bell is running in his name this week....

- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.

Half of me says, "Go for it, he can't be half as bad as some of the other guys, notably Gray Davis."  The other half reads the interviews and shakes its head as it senses massive stupidity.  Hell, I might vote for him just to avoid voting for some of these other assholes.

Well, unlike many candidates, when an actor applies you can be more sure that he'll just be a figure to the advisers who'll really run the state.
With the other options, you get the feeling they might be tempted to actually try to do some governing themselves, and that could be tragic.

Excellent point, Las..  Davis (our current gov) is an excellent example.  He walks into an office for a state that is currently in the black a good 8 billion dollars.  After a couple months he thinks to himself, "Hey, I ought to get off my ass and do something with that extra cash.  I know!  We'll spend it like crazy."  Currently, California's in the red for about 50 billion.  I know that anyone can be corrupted and anyone (even those who seem remotely honest) can be misanthropic. However, I think I might trust Arny to be the lesser of two evils in this case.  At least we know he'll be a figure-head and a dumb-$h!t.  We don't have to worry about massive business opportunities for the governor in the guise of legislation.  

Of course, this topic'll die out fast due to its limited facets and the fact that only 2 out of X # of AGS'ers are actually affected by the result of the vote.

You´re surprised about Arnold? There is a porno actress (Called Mary Carey or something like that) who is also candidate. Arnold rules, but man, if I were californian... I would vote Mary!
Are you guys ready? Let' s roll!

I have no idea who the hell I'm going to vote for.  This whole thing is a friggin joke.  I'll probably go with Camejo (Green Party) who wouldn't have a chance in a normal election but who just may with this ludicrous surplus of candidates.  Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to say about that.  I think Yak's right; this topic doesn't have too much life left in it.

actually, I think this election also effects the entire political scene...at least in america. A recall is forming in Pittsburg, and I think one other city. If Arnie wins this, other arrogant actors with no political experiance will try and run too. I think he'll prob. win, but I'd rather see the state's lutenant gov. win.

arnold reminds me a bit of my least favorite american president: ronald regan

Arnie isn't an idiot, and he does have charisma and a self-power. What else do you need in a governor? I mean, a sensible, intelligent, wise, good man would be nice, but the problem is that most wise people are wise enough to not go into politics. So I think Arnie would make a decent governor, as long as he had some good people behind him who could help pull California out of its huge debt.

I say go Arnold. Even if he doesn't win this time over, he'll be back.

He's on the road for presidency.  Just look at "Demolition Man".

Get this NOW.  Friggin brilliant.  There's some guy laughing in the background, which is annoying, but it doesn't detract from the humour.

it would be great to see Arnie get it, but like  panda the thought of an actor in power worries me, FFS when
ronald regan was in the white house, i was sure he was the one who'd kill us all! i live in the UK so i guess we just saw what we wanted to see, but Ronnie came across as a puppet with a "bomb the bastards" attitude, the real ppl in power stuck their hand up is ass controlling him and using him as target pratice!

edit
flashback from T3............ if arnie says hes putting SkyNet online....feckin run!

And if a woman who's arm turns into guns and she's liquid metal and robot is after you, run even faster.

Isn't there a democrat available in California?

Arnold would a *bad* idea, in my opinion. This is from my strictly liberal point of view. Arnold is a republican, and in his interviews he has already shown he's not the most tolerable person around.

Personally, for me, the fact that he's against same-sex couples marrying, ruins it for me. So much for enlightenment, Ahnuld!
