The world is a sad, scary place.
Not that I have anything against Arnold. I want him to prove his worth as more than just an action hero - I'm sure he can do it. He he, Madame Youatt said that she would leave the state if he won...woohoo! No more French!
However, the recall elections were kindof a joke.

Two thoughts:
1) I guess this goes to show that the philosophy of America is about the will of the people being exercised.
2) I think this is what the founding fathers were afraid when they thought that the mob might become easily suaded into doing silly things and hence made the electoral college -_-;;;

It was pretty smart of him to run. He knew that the people knew him well, and would very well vote for him. I guess Americans are always up for something new....My teacher also said that the largest percentage of people voted.

Arnold won because the democrats didn't have any good people on the ballet....
They specifically kept the majority of good democrats off in hopes that the recall would fail, but as it was a lot of democrats ended up voting yes on recall and for arnold.
I'm curious SC, why do you think the election was unfair?

Excuse me? I am wholeheartedly in favor of him.
OBVIOUSLY not everyone thinks he will be a bad governor or he wouldn't have won the election!

well, i think the election was unfair, because not every candidate was being shown on bigscreen and on home tvs for months leading up to the election. also, not every candidate is a movie star and not every candidate works out in the gym daily (i bet at least 5% voted bcuz of his looks : not that i hav anything against him, in fact i dont really hav an opinion about who gets into the CA government. i just hope that he doesnt do anything bad while in power.

I think at this point we have all (everyone) forgotten what is truly important in this world. The fact that the most famous canidate won out kind of proves that point.

uhm ok... if that's the direction you want to take it...
i don't think he won mostly because of his "famousness" though i agree it was some help.
he was able to advertise himself so well because he has money whoopdeedo. that happens with a lot of elections.
You "hope he doesn't do anything bad while in presidency?", SC?
Wait wait, why is the most famous guy who happens to be a movie star automatically assumed to maybe not do a good job?
WHat is the world coming to that no matter who is on top, people always claws them down?
