Reality is that some people can lead and govern and some cannot. There have been plenty of professional/career politicians who have failed at the statewide or national level. There have been others who are new to the political scene who have succeeded in those situations. Californians were tired of the career politicans and were looking for something new. Arnold provided them with an option for change that they knew, and for whatever reason trusted. It is clear that the people of California have spoken loudly and clearly that they wanted change, let's all hope that they made a good decision. Let's all also hope that there is not a serious recall movement on their new governor and that there is not a spree of recalls across the country due to this one's success.
