Mitzkrieg - Thanks for a well thought out and articulate opinion. It's the first one I've heard from CA. I stand by my own opinion but what the hell, it's over now, let's see how he does. Clearly he has been sucessful in his life endeavors. And he's no more difficult to understand than Kissinger or Shalikashvili. BTW, the media to which I referred is Arnold's movies. And I'm really looking forward to seeing what role Maria plays. Good luck to you all!

thanks gertie. yanno, hopefully i didn't come off as upity and a mr. knowitall in here. if i did i apologize. something just happened to me this time around in these elections. this is the first time i've felt passionate about anything political. i was upset with the job Davis was doing, and i really tried my best to look into the situation to decide if it was worth going through this whole recall process. i didn't want to be one of those "media mesmermized sheep" (hehe, yup, thought you were talkin about news media, gertie) and i wanted to make sure we either kept the right person in office, or put another person in his place that would do at the very least, a little better, or no worse than the previous person.
but i'll tell ya, i think this whole situation has helped matured me a little bit in the politics area. i think in the past, i didn't do enough research on my own and had the stance that if i didn't really like any candidates, then i sure as hell would'nt vote for someone. in hindsight, i should have voted for the person that was the "lesser of the two evils" so to speak. in this election, i think and hope i voted for the right person. i really think Arnold and his administration will handle things a lot better, and the state of california will benefit from this.
thanks for everyone's comments, and sorry if i stepped on any toes
