esp. how dependent he will be on his advisers.

You imply exactly what Democrats did when saying that GWB would be too dependent on his obnoxious advisers... that Arnie The Actor is dumb and incapable of leading his own policies.

Wasn't that the favourite rant about another actor, Republican, and California governor - one of the most successful American presidents Ronald Reagan?

Reagan had been advocating clear conservative
principles for decades before he became Governor.

He did the great speech in support of Goldwater
that impressed everyone etc...

Arnold been dogging and ducking given answers
only gives the carefully prepared answers
after 10 days of meeting with advisers.
Even now he is afraid of the debates
and carefully choses when, were and how
he states anything about his beliefs.

Arnold only doing this to feed his ego
and he just going to turn the policies
over to the staff and tell them to make
him look good while he goes around
being imperial governor feeding his ego.

Another thing Reagan sure would not have had Warren Buffet
as his chief adviser.


I thing Arnold' problem is not being dumb
but his real problem is that he lacks good
character and does not have high principles
but is driven by ego.

In other words he is a lot like Clinton!
