Arnorld Schwarzenegger is....the governor!

[leggy]

Why is it a good thing? Why is it a bad thing?

I personally couldn't care less. It doesn't affect me as I live no where near California. I don't care what he has to say for himself either as I will only hear him speak about his election while the news over here cares. 2 weeks approx.

if I was living in california, I'd vote for him too

With people like Larry Flint (pornstar tycoon), strippers, random joe's and "real" politicians, Arnie would win hands down all the time.

Wonder if he says "I'll be back" when going to the loo

Things that happen in California tend to affect people everywhere else further down the line. Its probably the most influential place in the world. A good current example would the be move by software houses to export jobs to India; it started in California and has a massive effect there, an effect that we'll start to see more and more. That's why California politics are important, even over here.

Personally, I think he has at least as good a chance of improving things as any of the other muppets who stood. And let's face it, as a symbol of what California stands for, he's nigh on perfect. He's not stupid, and he's not afraid to use his fame as a asset - if he harnesses that fame in helping with his new job then he could do well. He was very vague about what he would do though, but I think he'll be a low tax/deregulation type of guy personally.

Gary Coleman ran for governer as well. Now that would have been great, if he'd won.

Its a shame he couldn't have been Arnie's running mate - they could have called it 'Twins 2 - the Election'

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis!

small consolation might be that he's taking his winning one-liners with him into politics. When he was pelted with eggs while campaigning, Arnold retorted 'Hey, thadt guy owes me sohme bacon'.

quote:
1. "You're fired," (Yoo-uh fi-uhd) from True Lies, said to a terrorist hanging from a missile on the Harrier Jet Arnold is piloting. The missile is subsequently fired.

2. "Doesn't anybody stay dead anymore!" from The 6th Day. He delivers a violent shot on the word "dead". (By the way, his name in this film: Adam Gibson, that strong Austrian-sounding name.)

3. "Stick around," from Predator, after he throws a giant knife into a guy's torso. Naturally he would be thinking of puns while engaged in a bloody battle.
4. "Consider that a divorce," (Considuh dat a di-vohse) from Total Recall, right after he shoots his "wife" (Sharon Stone) despite her plea, "You wouldn't shoot me, would you?...after all, we're married."

5. "How about a light?" from The Running Man, said just before he throws a lit flare at Fireball (Jim Brown), who's just had his gas line severed. Predictably, Fireball is blown up.

6. "You want Collateral Damage! Here's Collateral Damage! You want Collateral Damage! Here's Collateral Damage!..." from (you guessed it) Collateral Damage, as he storms into an office to teach a pinhead terrorist sympathizer a lesson. (His character name: Gordy Brewer)

7. "Oh, you poor baby...TEE-HEE!" from Jingle All the Way, said to Sinbad's character. This is seen from Sinbad's perspective after he's fallen on his back, looking up at Arnold's wildly contorted face. (Arnold's name in the film? Howard Langston.)

8. "Who told you you could eat my cookies?" from Jingle All the Way, said to Phil Hartman's character. Arnold forcefully points to his chest on the my.

9. "Forget it, I'm not gonna sit on your lap" from Jingle All the Way, said to Jim Belushi's shady mall Santa Claus character.


But none of these are as good as when he cuts Buzzsaw in half with chainsaw in The Running Man
Arnie's mate 'What happened to Buzzsaw?'
Arnie 'He hahd to Splid'

Or in Comando when he drops his prisoner off a cliff and when asked by his friend where the prisoner has gone replies 'I let him go'.

taken from another site! Hilarious.

I dont think he can do any worse than the previous guy.

He also speaks perfect English, it may have a strong Austrian accent but it's good English, I can understand everything he says.

He'll just try and do a job, he's realising he's getting too old to keep doing action movies and he's not really cut out for more 'mature' movie roles as such. Good luck to him really, and wouldn't it be fun if he lost the next election cos then he could go "I'll be back" and win the one after!

Enough about Dubya, what about Ahnuld?
