    How does one get started in the governing business, then.

    try at least working in the public sector. maybe serve as mayor, on a city council, state legislature. Or even run a company, or operate in an administrative area at all. Even if you don't have any experience, you should at least be very interested in the nuts and bolts of running government, not just the rhetoric of being a politician.

    Eh, I don't really pay attention or anything, so yeah, but it is kinda funny saying the governer of my state is the Terminator. Toonses from Saturday Night Live might do a better job then him, I mean, it's a driving cat! Gotta be smart, right?

    I intend to help make sure he is NOT re-elected. I'm ashamed of this state at times.

    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.
    So is that what happened with Ronald Reagan?

    NAw I think with Ronald Reagan. He just figured he wanted tobe president. and trust me when a man knows what he wants to do in life. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal.

    Reagan had been involved in politics for some time before he sought to become governor of California, though that was the first office he held. And you knew the answer without needing to ask, no that was not the case, as Reagan actually ran in a normal election. Feel free to look up the candidate list for this recent race, and you'll see my point.

    I dont like or support either of them, and I didnt vote at all in this recent one, I'm merely pointing out that this is how everyone I talked to felt, because there just wasnt much to choose from.
