Unfortunately, schwarzenegger.com is not even responding to ping. It is resolving DNS, so I'm guessing he just didn't buy enough bandwidth. Very disappointing. Everybody else's site seem to be able to handle it, but not his.

Some of my Favorites

Jeremy Chapman (D) - Cigarette Store Chain VP & Cigarette Tax Repeal Activist
Ned Roscoe (Libertarian) - Cigarette Store Chain President & Cigarette Tax Repeal Activist

Leo Gallagher (Independent)
Bill Murray (Independent)
William Pratt (Independent) - Recent High School Graduate
Angelyne (Independent) - Entertainer & Billboard Self-Promoter

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, it is pretty scary. But as the careers of Clint Eastwood (actor, mayor), Ronald Regan (actor, governor, president), Jesse Ventura (professional wrestler (ie actor), governor) show, anything is possible in the crazy world of American politics.

Hmmm... my dream scenario is, Arnold wins. Four years later he tries to get himself re-elected and loses. In his farewell speech, he says "People of Cahlifohnia... Ah'll be back." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Seriously now, the guy is very good at managing his career and image. He has the skills to be a good politician.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, I agree with this statement. I do find it quite sad though that being a good politician nowadays comes down to how well you are perceived rather than how well you serve your electorate. Unfortunately, this is the state of politics in the US, and also in the UK, and most other places as well I should think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I think I've just found out why he makes me so uneasy.
