I believe what brought Arnold out was the love of the crowds....people screaming Arnold! Arnold! What comes next is going to be the real test. I don't envy him the problems he's inherited and has promised to fix. The State of California is probably more in debt than some entire countries. Big, hard decisions will need to be made; some of which will hurt. Alot. I honestly don't know if he's up to that task. Ronald Reagan, the obvious comparison, was a sophisticated politician who happened to have had acting lessons. He made it in the political world through the use of savvy a lot more than his string of B-movies. Arnold got his in by being a blockbuster draw. Talk about your unprovens.
And what is Hollywood going to do about T4!? The end of T3 saw the bombs dropping; the potential for sequels is endless!!

i personally find this whole thing distasteful. yes, gray davis was a bum, no question... but he was re-elected after the majority of his screwups had happened. the saddest thing imo is the power of celebrity in this country. if arnold was just a well-known bodybuilder (and not a mega-hollywood star) he would have been in the electoral mix with the child actors and porn stars. he could have run during the past election, but i don't think he could have held up over a long campaign dodging debates and saying he's going to "terminate" whatever issues come up.
at least the comic industry has been given a boost. if only there were publicly traded comedy acts to buy stock in.
oh,well... at least it's california.
