CA Governor’s Race
I can’t believe the circus of the governor’s race/ in CA. There are so many candidates.
It seems extraordinary that the CA constitution has such a poorly thought out recall process. The frightening thing is that the Arnold is looking like the candidate to beat at this point. Having lived through Jesse Ventura’s reign in Minnesota, I wouldn’t look forward to the celebrity guv in CA. It seemed like a good idea initially. I mean Jesse put MN in the limelight. He was a plain spoken person and refreshingly non-political. Then the reality set in complete with a thin skinned treatment of the press, idiotic comments, dumb book deals and side jobs, etc..

I don’t Arnie will be as … (how you say) weird – as Jesse. He’s been in the press before and has some serious good-old-boy muscle behind him. (Not to mention, he’s married to a Kennedy.)
On the other hand I get the feeling his advisors tell him what to think on a lot of issues.
