Arnie will be the best thing that could happen to Bush. He will play a big role in the re-election because his election will wreck havoc with the RATS costing them loads of cash and deprive them of illegalities they could get away with under a RAT governor.. This is going to cost them in about every possible way and it will assure that the media is distracted from anti-bush attacks 24/7.

If you enter the office with the persona of this guy it will make it very difficult for the legislature to continue its spending when he is in opposition. Plus, he will be a huge benefit campaigning for the senatorial candidate and W.

This is a good thing.

I agree given the fact the recall is happening that Arnold is the only canidate who can force the legislature not to stonewall him.

However that doesn't negate the fact that this whole thing is not a good thing in the BIGGER PICTURE of republicanism. Relying on "democracy" or mob rule to subjugate legitimate elections is never a good thing... all this is doing is setting up precidence for perpetual sour grapes by the losing side of every election that can capitalize on it.

The only reason there isn't an R in the governorship now is because of the R's putting a foolish canidate up last election... the only person on the planet who couldn't beat davis, and by God the California Republican's found him... You don't change leadership based on mob urges.. the Greeks taught the world this lesson ages ago! We are either a republic and ruled by the rule of law, or we are a democracy and ruled by the mob!

Not one founding father ever called this nation a democracy, they knowingly created a republic for a reason, and I don't honestly see this recall bringing out anything good in the greater scheme of american politics (and no I'm not talking about the 2004 election as being a greater scheme, because that's not, thats just current affairs, I am talking in the long term future of our nation, which one election cycle is not.)
