CNN says ARNOLD!

So at least in theory, if a lot of candidates are running someone could be elected governor with a very small percentage of the primary vote?

Yes, I believe the figure is 15%.

Funny, I'm having a flashback of having to get used to there being a Gov. Regan. Not long ago A.S. was a not-very-good actor that I never really thought about.

reprise, I understand the voting is electronic and therefore pretty much immediate. Is that right, someone?

Nope, it's a mixed bag. The one I had to use was one that you fill in the box(es) with a special pen, then you put the whole thing into a big special envelope and stick the end of the envelope into a machine and it sucks the ballet out of the envelope.

Last I saw on TV, the recall was going through at 54% for to 49% against. Pretty close. The race for the candidates is another matter, Ahnold is giving all the candidates (especially Bustamante) a sound thrashing and will likely win by a larger margin in a race with over a hundred candidates than the margin by which Davis won in essentially a two man race.

All I have to say to Davis is Hasta La Vista, Baby!.

Bustamante No, Recall Si.

California will now get a taste of what Minnesota got. I don't know if that's good or bad, but today California took over as having the strangest governor.

(I think California was just jealous of all the attention Minnesota got :))
 
"All I have to say to Davis is Hasta La Vista, Baby!."

I was watching Arnold on the news last night and he was giving his Davis terminated this and Davis terminated that and he's going to terminate Davis.... speech and I kept thinking, this is really happening, this isn't an SNL sketch, it's real, it's not a bad parody, it's a real speech in front of real people who will really elect him.

At some point I think we're going to wake up and find we're all on the Truman show.

Hey, we've been living in "The Lathe of Heaven" for some time. Whatever Davis dreams up, we have to live with the next day.

Excellent! It is going to plan. Now if we can only eliminate the one called "Neo", everything will be perfect!

Actually, I think Jesse did a good job. I would have voted for him again.

She had the best platform of all in my opinon.

My Gubernatorial Platform
The most important issue facing California right now is our $38 billion deficit and 6.7% unemployment rate. California needs a governor who will get our finances in order! As a “political outsider,” I have fresh, original ideas for helping the state generate revenue and reduce its deficit. Here are just some of them:

1. Legalize gay marriage in California. This will generate a tremendous amount of revenue for the state as a honeymoon destination.

2. Tax breast implants. From Beverly Hills alone, we should bring in millions in tax revenue. (Note: I am all-natural and I personally discourage the use of implants!)

3. Make lap dances a tax deductible business expense. This will help grease the wheels of business in California and stimulate our economy.

4. If I’m elected Governor, I will wire the Governor’s Mansion with live web cams in every room. We will create a pay site, and all money collected will go toward reducing the deficit. Californians will get to see their government in action - literally! (Also, we will have people from around the globe helping to pay off our debt, so it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of Californians.)

5. I will create a “Porn for Pistols” program to take handguns off the streets. Dealing with the violence and injuries associated with handguns is a huge drain on our state's resources.

6. As Governor, I will recruit fellow performers from the adult video industry as ambassadors of good will. These ambassadors will be a great help to California when it comes to such things as negotiating rates for buying electricity from neighboring states.

7. I will coordinate the state’s unemployment and jury systems, so that anyone who applies for unemployment will instantly be called for jury duty. This will save California state and local governments millions of dollars, because we won’t have to pay for jury duty. It will also relieve those with jobs from the stress of serving on lengthy juries.

8. I will fight the federal government's attempts to harass the adult video industry. Adult video is an $11 billion industry that creates more than $23 million in taxes each year for the state of California. We can't afford to lose this tax base!

9. If elected, I will support legislation to allow bars throughout the state of California to remain open until 4am. It will generate extra revenue, give additional hours of employment to the working class, and have a positive chain reaction throughout our economy.

10. I will address the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is costing our state millions of dollars and an incalculable toll in human lives.

Geez, are there enough people on the stage at Arnie's headquarters? It looks like they are going to pass a mike around and sing "We are the World." I hope those bleachers don't collapse.:eek:

Just wanted to use the eek smiley one time.

Let me break my rule about not talking politics and admit on this strange night that I would have too. :)
