Yes - hell win.  The press conference was interesting - the media loves him.

His big issue is going to be bringing business back to "Caleeforneeya."  

And his departure line after the last question?  "Thank you and Ill be back."  

Only in Hollywood.  ;)

This summation would suggest he is within the 99 percentile of all other candidates proposed.  California is a nightmare 40 years in the making.  Any person who would take the helm of governor is the equivalent of a political kamakazi.

I am torn between Larry Flynt and Gallagher right now.  However, if Gary Coleman agrees to enter the race he will get my 100% support.


Tomorrow the California Supreme Court will decide which, if any, of the five lawsuits dealing with the recall will proceed.

Considering the standard of his movies lately maybe he needs a career change. But he might find the unscripted realities of political life not to his taste.

One question for you American constitutional experts there. I read somewhere that you had to be BORN in the United States to run for president.  Is that true? Otherwise are we going to see an American president with an Austrian accent in the future?

Maniac,

Not being a political analyst, I guess I would say a Govenor is to a state what a President is to a country.

I guess that's the easiest way to describe it.

I would vote for him.. the last actor we had did real well.   Conservative actors make great leaders.  they have allready faced adversity and grown thick skins... they don't Baaaaaaa along with the majority of media types who are extreme far left so they better be able to hold their own..  Look at the liberal actors when they are cornered... they panic.

contrast the likes of Arnie and Charleton Heston and Regan with the likes of martin sheen with duct tape on his mouth or the moronic hissy fits of the likes of sean penn.

no... Arnie would be great... fun to watch and probly have some common sense.   maybe Tom Sellec for lt gov or Bruce Willis.

If elected I have no doubt that he would be a huge embarrassment for this state.

His knowledge of politics, especialy California politics, wouldn't fill a thimble.

They are already digging up dirt on AS.  
His father was a Nazi.  He went AWOL in the Austrian army and spent time in military prison.  He admitted to smoking pot and taking steroids.  
I imagine he anticipated all those funerable points and is prepared to deal with them.  We shall see.

Being a Californian who wanted Davis out (even before the last election), I've been thinking seriously about this Arnold thing.  And at first it seems kinda cute, but now it's starting to seem appealing to me.  For one thing, can anyone do any worse than Davis?  And what really mulls over in my mind a lot is Arnold isn't a career politician (yet) and may not have the cadre of special interest groups to cater to like so many others who live or die by the vote.  Where's Clint Eastwood?  How'd he do with Carmel?

"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Monzuma?"

Quote

On Wednesday, Gary Coleman (news), the star of the 1980s sitcom, "Diff'rent Strokes," plunked down $3,500 in Alameda County and declared himself a candidate for governor of California. Current governor Gray Davis is facing a recall election Oct. 7.


The diminutive actor has been in and out of legal trouble since the popular show ended, and was recently on the E! series "Star Dates," where stars and singles mingle with mixed results.

...

Popular Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein ruled out a run, saying the election was becoming "more and more like a carnival every day."



Quote
In 1998, actor Gary Coleman turned himself in to police after allegedly punching a female fan who asked for his autograph.


Quote
Coleman's candidacy was engineered by the East Bay Express, an Oakland-area newspaper, which paid his $3,500 filing fee, collected the necessary petition signatures and is promoting his candidacy in protest of the scheduled vote aimed at recalling Gov. Gray Davis.

Coleman's campaign treasurer, Steve Buel, editor of the East Bay Express, told CNN that the actor's name "resonates with the voters."

Buel said he had no trouble getting the necessary 65 petition signatures from Independent voters in Alameda County, which he gathered at a recent Oakland A's baseball game.

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters confirmed Wednesday that a representative for Coleman filed the necessary petition signatures and paid the required fee at the courthouse in Oakland, California. He registered as an Independent.

California voters will decide October 7 whether to recall Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, and who should replace him.

"I thought (the recall) was a joke. They thought it was a joke. And I thought, hey, why not," Coleman, 35, told CNN. "I'm probably the least qualified for the job, but I'll have some great people around me."

"It's true that there is a farcical quality to the entire recall effort. But Gary's candidacy is no more farcical than that of Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Arianna Huffington, or the comedian Gallagher," Buel said.

Schwarzenegger, Huffington and Gallagher have all announced they will seek to replace Gov. Davis.

Schwarzenegger's announcement came at a Wednesday afternoon taping of NBC's "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.

Coleman, speaking shortly after film star Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he was running for governor, predicted that Schwarzenegger would win -- and Coleman said he would vote for the "Terminator."

"Now that Arnold is in the race, there is no race. Gray Davis needs to pack his bags," he said. "I'm going to stay in the race, but I'm not going to campaign."

On Diff'rent Strokes from 1978 to 1986, Coleman played Arnold Drummond, who, along with his brother, Willis (played by Todd Bridges), was adopted by a wealthy man after their mother, the man's maid, died.

His trademark retort, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout," became a well-known catch phrase.

U.S. Const., Art II, Sec 1, Cl 4: No person except a natural born citizen...shall be eligible to the office of President...and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Therefore, The Mark 1 Terminator...um I mean Arnold S. is not eligible to hold the Presidency...but that does not mean that a foriegn  born natural citzen cannot; two examples come stright to mind: John McCain (born in Panama), and me (then West Germany). Both of us, as with thousands of U.S. citizens who were born to American parents abroad are eligible. However word has it that several Con law scholars (on behalf of both parties) would have filed suit against McCain based on this clause if he had one.

Carry on.

what do you mean 5% ? , are you talking about the recall petition? the petition just calls for a recall election, that just means davis has to be re-elected, davis is not out until the recall election is over, if he wins he will stay in office, ALL the cal voters will say if davis stays or goes.

Taken from foxnews.com:

"In my heart it was that I wanted to do something for California. I wanted to give something back because California has given me so many opportunities," he said.

Schwarzenegger, who is running as a Republican in the effort to recall Democratic Gov. Gray Davis (search), also told Fox about his plans to solve the California budget crisis.

"The first thing that you have to do is not worry about should we cut the programs or raise the taxes and all those things," said Schwarzenegger, who has an economics degree.




Economics degree?  I guess he has more education that we all thought.
