Well? Is California going to be ruled by an Austrian body builder or not?

I'm hoping so; it's better than a pedophile praying on young women in Hawaii

Finally, a reason other than Operation Iraqi Oppression to watch CNN or MSNBC 24/7

ALL PRAISE MASS MEDIA!!

It's official....he'll be back

The Governator! :D

legal question: what had really happened in California? Which was the legal basis? Is it what is usually called "recall"?

There was a story on the CBS news tonight about saving some ferrets or some endangered animal, and they ran a sound bite of some person who said that since Arnold came out in their defense in one of his movies (couldn't tell ya which one, haven't seen one of his since Predator), they figured he'd be like that in office. This clip was of course balanced by a person who pointed out that Arnold was playing a character in a movie. Strange days indeed.

Ferrets? It had to be Kindergarden Cop, classic flick.

In many state's constitutions (all states have their own constitutions)there are provisions for "recall". In California's case, the proper number of signatures were gathered for a petition to start the process. Once that is done, the state is compelled to hold an election for a) whether or not to recall the politician in question AND b) who will replace that person if the recall is successful. These two questions are on the same ballot.

So, what took place was completely constitutional and was conducted in strict accordance with California law.

Thanks!

And does US still have provisions in Constitutions, laws or codes for judicial recalls?

Originally posted by Spotnick Here in Canada, the only way to get rid of a provincial prime minister, it's if the members of his political party votes against him at the annual convention (Sebastien would explain it probably a lot better than me)... so the population has nothing to say...And it doesn't happen often, we actually have one for the PM job of Canada, but the PM solved it by firing his Minister of Finances, who will replace him as PM for 2004, but it took 3 years to make the transition...Anyways, I saw on CNN that the last "Recall" in the US was in 1921, so it's been like a lot of time before people decided to evict a governor..!Still can't believe it, I found it fun to see Arnold run, but now that he won, I think I'll miss his movies

Just remember: He'll Be Back

It's called the "line item veto". He may have to deal with a Democrat Assembly, but they sure as heck will have to deal with him if they want ANY of their initiatives passed.

You know the Democrats were in trouble when all they could produce as "conduct unbecoming" was his starring roles in "Kindergarden Cop" and "Jingle All the Way" :D

Well, the "Running Man" was cool in a kind of ironic, "look-at-those-silly-Eighties-hairstyles!" sort of way, but it did reveal Ah-nuld's tendency to rough up Richard Dawson (certainly would cause alarm amongst other game show hosts, as well as journalists who try to steer him away from talking about "Kali-fournia") :D

"War Games" is not a bad movie.

Running Man was a great Stephen King story and the whole point was that the guy being chased was NOT an action hero, but an ordinary guy desperate for some cash - trust Hollywood to completely ruin the story by Arnifying it.

"War Games" is not a bad movie. i didn´t say it was bad. it´s a good movie.

I just say it´d be dangerous if the next movie USA want to play is "War Games"... get it?
