SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Arnold Schwarzenegger's ascension to the top job in the nation's most populous state is the culmination of one of the most earthshaking political sagas ever witnessed in America. Even six months ago, it seemed unfathomable that a Republican movie star could oust Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, a 30-year political veteran just elected to a second term. Now the voter outrage that fueled the recall has catapulted Schwarzenegger into a position of changing the way political power is used in California and elsewhere.

Interesting tidbit: Arnold Schwarzenegger in German means;

Arnold - Strong as an Eagle

Schwarzenegger - Black Plowman

I dunno what this all means except that he can do hard work and he has the strength to get it done.

The greatest state of the greatest country on earth!

We put a political rope around the neck of one of the most hard core socialist governors in the country, and hung him. It was a recall revolution, and the extreme liberal government was overthrown.
