    Any Californians?

    "Recent polls have revealed that California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity has decreased tremendously" .... "they say the reasons behind this is that Californians have begun to realize that they elected Arnold Schwarzeneggar to be their Governor"

    -SNL
    What the %#$&!!!

    yea, it seems that being governor is harder than everyone thought.

    I'm glad I have a governor who can pronounce the name of my state.

    Seriously though, it's a bit sad that people considered him to be governor material, just because he was in The Terminator.

    I had a feeling that his public opinion polls would decrease like that sooner or later.

    It wasnt that everyone was thrilled to have The Terminator as their governer, it's that he was the only worthwhile choice on a list of hacks and idiots and Bustamante, the underling of the shyster governer we'd just ousted. There wasnt a whole lot to choose from.

    True. You had Gary Coleman, a pornstar, and him. I'd pick him over those other two.

    The whole thing just makes me so embarrassed. I mean, it's kind of cool that I can threaten people from other states with The Terminator, but it's really not worth it. I still can't believe that he really got elected. Or that he even made it as far as being seriously considered for the job.

    Gray Davis wasn't really that bad, and the energy crisis was created deliberately by Enron to drive down Davis's popularity and strengthen the effort for a recall.

    An interesting one: http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/08....ap/index.html

    In any event, I was not terribly surprised that he was elected, nor am I that surprised that he is tanking in the polls.

    Why does being a movie star make him unworthy of political jobs?

    It doesn't.

    Any more than it makes him worthy of them.

    But I doubt the few people who voted based on stances and candidate merits really have much faith left anymore.

    being a movie star doesn't disqualify him, but his total lack of experience or governing skill does.
