Oh really? So avoiding a fiscal crisis was nothing?

And they probably voted for him more because of how much Davis had screwed up - not because he was an action movie hero.

It's Gray Davis, not David that got terminated by the Governator. :)

The S and the D are right next to each other. LOL Leave me alone man.

either way you spell it it was a great day all over california when davis got the boot! i feel better when i turn on my AC and i wont get a rolling black out or have topay triple car tax tags this yr either.

HOLLA BACK.

That is very wrong. He won in a landslide because not because of who he is, but who he isn't: Gray Davis.

I hope not.

OK, so the people of California voted for him because of who he isn't...does that make a more sound decision. I think that's worse.

The other candidates in the running were all not Davis. He was the best "not Davis" so that's not all it was.

This is moving so far away from the original intent of the thread, but oh well.

My original statement was that he was elected because he was Arnold. The other posted offered another reason. I proceeded as if it was true. My point is, it doesn't matter if people voted for him because he was not Davis or because he was a popular entertainer. My point is, he is unqualified.

Ugh...because to be qualified you have to be what? I want someone that can represent me. I want someone that can go into most situations and be able to handle them because he is intelligent just like me. The country's political system was not built for career politicians actually. So far the results have shown that he is qualified. Just like Reagan (bringing it back to topic), they said he wasn't qualified and just like Reagan he has defied predictions.

Well, to perform any job I feel a person should possess a certain set of skills. Also, sue me for thinking that experience is important. I'm not saying that a person should be a career politician. But there's nothing wrong with thinking a person should pursue the office of city councilman, state senator, or mayor before becoming governor.

So far, his results mean very little to me. Only time will tell how successful his administration will be.

Also, I was not a huge Davis fan. I was not a fan at all. However, I was opposed to this election.

Do you not think it's enough that Arnold has surrounded himself with experienced and smart people? I think he's a very principled man who is smart enough to be able to take in information and make good decisions.

Yeah sometimes I wake up and put on my sunglasses and live in pretend world too where results mean very little to me.
