Schwarzenneger won as governor. Again. I'm SO annoyed. Didn't voters learn the first time around that he has no idea what he is doing?! He's an actor, people!! Just because he can act like a governor doesn't mean he'll be a good one for real!! Any other Californians as upset as I am?

He submitted to governance before he got the truth. Military disregard does not work and he would have been squashed like a bug. I am sure that the Dem's bailed him out. Like that career dem he hired for hired inner circle. Wife Shriver Is a Kennedy and they have action in CA. This may be the first dual party Governor in history.

Arnold was not the stupid choice. We also put in one of the biggest nitwits on the planet as our attorney general. The attorney general of the most populous state in the union is an internationally recognized laughingstock. Great. At least we did not put in Cruz Bustamonte. What a disaster that would have been.
If it would help, rent Predator, which had not one, but two, state governors, Arnold and Jesse Ventura. The first half hour, when they wipe out the rebel base camp was great entertainment.

The other "poor actor" that was Governor of California didn't do to badly. Remember the Berlin wall going down. And don't forget we Californians almost went bankrupt when the last Dem was governor... See the book "Deer in the headlights" by Gray Davis

I'm not delighted that he's been re-elected, but Arnold has been pretty smart since his initiatives bombed, and Angelides didn't run a particularly strong campaign. The fact is, we Democrats need better gubernatorial candidates, plain and simple.
But at least we still have Dems in charge of the State Senate, and you know, there's something to be said for a Republican governor and a Democratic senate: They have to reach compromises to make things work.
And hey, at least our state wasn't stupid enough to vote for Bush twice, right?

Californians are off the map, just like New Yorkers. I'll give one good reason to support your theory that Californians are stupid: Nancy Pelosi. If you don't believe me check out her voting record:

It will make your stomach turn.

You can't just say all Californians are stupid. I'm not from there, but it is a hasty generalization. You may upset a lot of people that live there.

and each of the common gas that serves So.Ca. comes throught the pipelines from Arizona. It is going to the tank farms, they placed the ingredients in it that the majors kind choose and deliver it to the stations in tank autos. perhaps the boycotters ought to coach Arizona a lesson and not purchase gas for his or her automobiles in So.Ca. possibly Arizona ought to close the pipeline down and examine for leaks. Villaragosa is a moron. L.A. is broke basically like the State yet they pay hundreds of thousands a 300 and sixty 5 days in help to unlawful extraterrestrial beings.

Yeah! Arnold does suck but there is no life east of California. Belive me this is THE best place to live on the planet! I'm originaly from the sleepy state of missouri and wouldn't ever never never leave it. Sorry.

Yes, I think its really lame, but it could be worse...Jeb Bush could be our governor. :(
I think if we'd had a stronger Democratic person running against him we would've had a shot...I liked Angelides, but I didn't think he was anything special.
