For the first time in its history California is facing recall with the current Gary Davis. There was talk that Arnold wanted the job. Now it seems that he will have to make his decision a bit faster then he had counted on. Will he bid for the job? What do think?

IMHO, Not a Chance!! He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. This monumental disaster in California is 100X bigger than any one person – even the “Terminator”.

While I suspect he may have political ambitions, (U.S. Senator?), but being the known as the Governor of a state that will most likely be forced to declare bankruptcy this year is not the kind of “baggage” you want to have hanging around your neck.

I just finished watching the local news and they say the “Terminator” will announce officially tomorrow that he will not run. Don’t know if that is “his” decision or the decision of Mrs. Terminator.

Catching observers by surprise, Arnold Schwarzenegger said Wednesday he will run for governor in California's recall election. Schwarzenegger announced his decision on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Several other potential candidates were waiting for Schwarzenegger's decision to launch or abort their own campaigns for Gray Davis' job. Also running is Gary Coleman of Different Strokes fame. "WHAT YOU TALKIN' BOUT."

From a clip from of VARIETY MAGAZINE.

Arnold is getting backing, looks like he could really be a contender! I'm glad I left California when I did.

Maybe he won't be Jessie Ventura, the former ex-professional wrestler who became governor of Minnesota, but his accent may lend a whole new 'accent' to California! At least as governor he may satisfy his regnal instincts, but then it will only be Calif. that may suffer, since the US constitution prevents him from being President, since he is foreign born. Can you imagine 'AHH-nold' as president? Oh, yes, that's right; we did have Bill Clinton. And to think that history would call such men "Statesmen."

Of course, we have had one professional actor already for governor of California and eventual President of the United States (Ronald Reagan). I think most Americans would agree that the current Commander-In-Chief and his acting unaware of pre-9/11 knowledge, the threats of global warming and the American economic downturn could rival any of Arnold Schwarzenegger's thespian work.
