Possible list of candidates for Governor of California...

[Loser]

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

Larry Flynt (D) - Pornography Magazine Publisher & Casino Owner
Jeremy Chapman (D) - Cigarette Store Chain VP & Cigarette Tax Repeal Activist
Ned Roscoe (Libertarian) - Cigarette Store Chain President & Cigarette Tax Repeal Activist
Gallagher (Independent) - Comic Performer
Leo Gallagher (Independent)
Bill Murray (Independent)
William Pratt (Independent) - Recent High School Graduate
Angelyne (Independent) - Entertainer & Billboard Self-Promoter
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) - Movie Actor
Mary Carey (Independent) - Porn Movie Actress
Ron Friedman (Independent) - Radiologist
Danney Ball (R) - Country Music Singer & Frequent Candidate
Jerry Morissette (Independent) - Interstate Rest Stop Caretaker & Navy Veteran
Gary Coleman (R) - Actor

[edit: how could I forget Gary Coleman?]

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.

From what I've seen of the up-and-coming generation of English "royalty", you can keep'em. We'll stick with what we have.

Lost me on that one, please splane it to me.

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."

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

I can't believe you said that.

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.

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