Arnold is toast
How's it feel to be losing to a girlie-man, Arnold?

1. Well...
He is a decent action actor, but a horrible politician and even worse at trying to unite people to believe in his policies or initiatives. Arnold, go back to movies, we need another Conan movie!

4. Unfortunately I think it's a little late for him to do Conan now though...

2. Good news, if true.
Now to find a replacement who is up to the job.

3. here's another link

The same California voters who gave Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger rave reviews in his victory in the unprecedented 2003 recall election aren't interested in a 2006 sequel by the actor-turned-politician, according to a Field Poll released today.

In a startling reversal of public opinion, 57 percent of the state's registered voters would not support Schwarzenegger's re-election next year, up from 42 percent in a February poll. Those who would vote to return him to Sacramento tumbled from 56 percent to 39 percent.

The governor, who has yet to announce a candidacy that has been taken as a given since his first day in office, finds himself running slightly behind two Democratic challengers, state Treasurer Phil Angelides and state Controller Steve Westly, in head-to-head matchups.

5. Hop in Arnie!



Hopefully soon the shrines of Arnie and Maria will come crashing down.

7. I'm pickin up what you're puttin' down.
I think if his ballot measures go down, he won't run.

Which would be just sweet revenge. I'm sure Gov Davis is getting a kick out of this.

11. One thing about aunold is he hate to lose,
that's why I don't think he will even run, unless he thinks he can win. He would be a very sore loser. Besides, he's a chicken-shit, I knew he would run before, since he only had to endure a 3 month campaign. He could never take the heat! Too many skeletons in his closet!
