With the recent embarrasing gubernatorial election in California, where a prominent newswriter called the Republican candidate "Too dumb to get elected" and the Democratic incumbent "incompetent," there has been more and more rumors flying that Arnold Schwarzenegger will run for Governor in the next election.
Just a small jump to national politics - we've had former Hollywood actors lead this nation before, after all...

You could do a lot worse than Arny. I bet he could do a really excellent job as governor of California.

Too bad he was born in Austria...instant disqualification for President...

Arnie has too many skeletons hiding in his closet, he'll never run for anything other than a spot on a soap opera where his minimal talent for acting will be outclassed by other actors that shouldn't be on the big screen either.

Name his Skeletons.

I wonder how he's going to fare against the new TX model...it's a female. He'll probably have to launch her into space and detonate a nuclear device....maybe they can take out the mothership in orbit waiting to launch the invasion...;)

I don't frequent Sunset Blvd. Sorry.
His affairs and womanizing are legendary as is his ability to buy silence.
Sound familiar?

Anyone would be better than Davis. My 6 year old nephew could be wiser with money.
Is he Republican or Democrat?
Sounds like I'm leaving Calif. in a few weeks anyway, so best of luck!

as he is a republican this would never work
if he were a dumbacrat, this behavior would be admired and awed by his voting base

LOL
Post a link to a smear sheet or news story, I have never heard anything bad about him, other then he used roids.

Eagler,
There was a reply to my post The Wisdom of our First President that referred to one of Bill Clinton's may qualifications for the Presidential Office. Check it out. It's worth a look.

LOL, You seriously want to give the leadership of the 5th largest economy in the world to someone dumber than a sack of hammers that most likely could make Slick look like a eunich?
On second thought, let him run, it'll be a glaring example of the hypocracy in politics these days.

Have you met him and seen how he treats service < hospitality industry > people? I have on 3 occasions. He's got a bad rep
in that industry for a good reason.
There is no documented proof that JFK screwed M. Monroe, just hearsay...do you have any doubt that he didn't?
His biography shows absolutly NO attendance let alone a degree from any institute of higher learning.
Lastly, he went A.W.O.L. form the service in his native country to compete in a bodybuilding competition and was later jailed for it but that kind of thing is accepted nowa days, huh.

He is correct.
During the last election, Gerry South (Davis' political hatchetman) strongly implied that he had evidence of womanizing when Arnold was talking about running. Shortly after that, Arnold decided not to run citing 'family obligations'.
-
Was that so hard? I am not defending him just saying, back it up.
Thanks for the info, BTW, I am not saying I would vote for him either, but if it where him and Davis, who would be worse?
Davis sucks.
-
Sorry, I already voted for Funked.

Agreed on Davis' suckage but atleast he's an educated sucker :)

California Gov. Calls for Tax Increases
By Alexa H. Bluth
Associated Press Writer

SACRAMENTO, Calif. –– Gov. Gray Davis proposed deep cuts in schools, health and welfare and called for $8.3 billion in tax increases on shoppers, smokers and the wealthy Friday to help close a nearly $35 billion budget deficit.
The plan involves a huge shift of state health and welfare programs to local governments.
"All the tasks before me were hard, but they had to be made," said Davis, a Democrat who was grudgingly re-elected in November after a first term marked by a dramatic financial downturn and a power crisis.
The governor's long-awaited announcement sets the stage for a political battle over raising taxes in the nation's most populous state.
Davis' plan proposes a total of $20.7 billion in budget cuts this year and next – including $4.5 billion in cuts to education.
He proposed a 1-cent sales tax increase that would raise about $4.5 billion and would cost the typical family about $200 to $250 a year. He also called for a $1.10-per-pack increase in cigarette taxes. And he asked for a tax increase on the state's top earners.
The tax proposals have support from Democrats, who control both houses of the Legislature and want more money to protect programs. But the Republicans – whose votes will be needed to get to the two-thirds approval required for the passage of a budget – have called higher taxes damaging to the economy and vowed to block any budget that includes them.
The Republicans also question the magnitude of the shortfall, saying Davis inflated the deficit figure to justify tax increases.
If the two-year shortfall reaches Davis' $35 billion prediction, it will be by far the largest ever experienced in California. The deficit is blamed largely on the downturn in the economy and the slide on Wall Street.
All the revenue from Davis' proposed tax increases would be funneled to local jurisdictions to take on a raft of state health and welfare services.
Officials said the shift would prevent many mental health, child care and court programs from being cut altogether – but would force local governments to administer them. The programs include state drug courts, homeless programs and community health.
Davis' budget plan also calls for a variety of new fees on libraries, veteran homes and motor vehicles.
The governor proposed to make deeper cuts to Medi-Cal health insurance program for the poor. Davis wants to reduce rates to health care providers by 5 percent, above an already proposed 10 percent cut. He is also calling for scrapping 10 more optional benefits for Medi-Cal recipients, including optometry, physical therapy and hospice.
