Re-Callifornia

Arnold won In California, as I predicted. Having survived the reign of Jesse Ventura here are my predictions.

Arnold will hire/appoint some good people around him to make policy. He will be unable to deliver on all his campaign promises. He will likely be more pragmatic and willing to compromise than the other elected officials. He will likely embarass the state with either his past, or by speaking his mind in the future. He will likely by unwilling to simply be governor, but will likely pursue side ventures as well.

I just hope the good folks in California think long and hard about reforming their recall process so this doesn't happen in such a haphazard fashion next time.

The age of character has been overtaken by the age of celebrity.
