Arnold as Governor

Well, he won. I must say that I'm happy they decided to recall Davis. What are your thoughts on Arnold becoming the new governor? Good, bad, indifferent?

I'm kinda hesistant to say anything about his capabilities right now until I see what he does first, but having no political experience whatsoever should make it interesting.

Frankly, since I can't see how it will directly effect my life I don't care. But I'm sure someone that has a passion for politics and is liberal will respond with a top ten list of why I should care.

erm.... I live in Iowa - don't think it really matters to me.

It will not affect me either but it will be fun to watch how it turns out, whether he falls on his face or actually does some good.

Ordinarily I'd say let the guy have a chance at it...hell, look at ronald regan and jesse ventura- actors who did a decent job while in political office. But...the one debate I saw with Arnold had him sounding like such a republican robot, completely programmed to stick to his material...makes me wonder who will really be running the state.

Not that it matters, since I live up in washington

I'm hoping he'll be good in office... he does seem to have a genuine concern for children, so I'm hoping that will directly affect funds for education (I'm a teacher and got a lay-off notice last year under Davis).

I do agree that many of his politics will not be his *entirely* but that's kind of the same for a lot of politicians... at least we know that he'll have the best advisors money can buy!

It obviously doesn't affect me at all - But there has been quite a lot of coverage for me to watch... Interesting - I know what you mean Tabbykitty... His speeches are very 'contrived' to say the least...

I still find it odd to have the 'Terminator' as our Governor, but I think everyone deserves a chance. Heck, I'm curious as to how things will turn out.

Stated perfectly. But, since I live in TX it doesn't really matter much to me either. I just feel sorry for the people in California.

(Very anti-republican at this time)

I don't think he can screw things up more than what they already are, so I say "why the heck not". Besides, I just registered a new car here in California, and I was cursing Davis the whole time.

OMG, I heard they tripled the cost of renewing auto registration there. You poor (literally) folks.

Hell, I bought a brand new Grand Am when I was there (umm ... 1997 or 1998, can't remember which) and it cost around 300.00 at that time.

lmao, sorry ... but this was the 666th post in the Anything thread. Just found it humorous that Arnie is the subject of such a notorious number.

Classic!

I heard about the auto reg thing too. I guess that's one way to get the state out of debt, by putting all the people in debt instead!
