I'm not sure how I feel about the recall since I live in NJ, but it has been interesting to watch and hear the opinions of others.
What strikes me about Arnold's campaign is that it is no different from many a politician's? All candidates try to cast doubts and aspersions (did I spell that right?) upon the acts and actions of their opponents. There's always the lie of ommission, too. Nothing new. Lots of promises, but no explanation of how. The politicians tell people what they think they want to hear.
Since I don't live in CA, I don't have an opinion on Davis. With regards to Arnold, he isn't stupid and maybe he can turn the state around. He's a successful businessman.
BTW, do we need to worry about Arnold becoming President (following in the footsteps of actor and former CA governor Ronald Reagan)? I don't think it can happen since he's wasn't born American, but is naturalized. Of course, that was true for the 1st several presidents, too. Anyone else got more clarity on this?
If Arnold were to become speaker of the house and the president and vice president were assasinated, would he [as the speaker of the house] become president regardless of his citizenship? (Sorry - the question came out of my recent viewings of The West Wing.)
