Seems I read somewhere that only people born in the USA can run for political office..So even though Arnie has US citizenship he would be disqualified.Yes..No ?
Is this correct..or bull..sh..t ?
He can run for governor and congress, but not the presidency.
Scwartzy has good chance to become the next governor of California, but he will never be president of the united states. I am ready to bet a dual G5 on this one.
This whole scharade is stranger than when Jesse Ventura won in Minnesota. The rest of the world must be laughing their asses off. Can I get an Amen from Europe? Australia? East Asia? Canada?
We have two months to find out where Arnold stands on the issues. No formal debate will take place. Doesn't that seem a bit rushed and a bit incomplete as a supposed tool for democracy? Name recognition will trump all should Davis be recalled. Should Californians vote for Schwarzeneggar because of his personality when they reelected Gray Davis despite it?

and, in classic modern method, arnold will win due to that name recognition (he may be great, who knows? but that will NOT be why he wins), and if he does a good job, people will use that as an excuse to not fix this stupid loophole rule that california seems to have had on the books. the ends always justify the means these days, i guess. get used to it.
Anyone decrying Mr. Schwarzenegger's intelligence should first ask themselves how many languages they're fluent in. Then ask yourself if you're married into the Kennedy dynasty.
He's not another dumb stick in the mud, although the people running with him are making this election a bit comical.

Bush agrees.
In fact, he based his endorsement of Arnold on "good, solid intelligence."

This reminds me of the last presidency election
I'd trust him to be a gym teacher... but that's about it.
If Californians elect him they'll get exactly what's coming to them.

Which is my district. He's okay I guess. He's held that office for years and years and years.
