Well...a weakness in the laws of that one state allowing an easy recall and some crazy candidates is hardly an indictment of our whole political process unless you just want it to be. At least there are no porn stars in our House of Representative or 5 different political parties playing serious roles in our process that begin with the word Socialist. What is up with the Official Monster Raving Loon party anyway? Do they actually have any seats?

To the average American voter, Arnold represents an American success story, an immigrant who made the most of his opportunities. To a nation of immigrants, that is a compelling story, and people are willing to try to see past the Terminator facade. I don't know what it is they see, but...yesterday I was talking to a Romanian immigrant who came to this country, worked as a valet and a construction worker for a year, then started his own business. He loved Arnold. He also claimed that Romania was a much better place to live when Nikolai Cc was running things. Did not expect to hear those things come out of his mouth at all, but they did. (shrugs) So there ya go.
