US probably has 10 times more weapons than N Korea, so whats their problem anyways.
I think the reason why arnold won was there were no better alternative politician to vote for.
quote:
oh the embarassment, if a man with no policy can win an election
And politicians with policies actually go through with it?
I say, give arnold a chance, he has yet to prove himself.
Our alberta premier (to the americans, its like a governor) ralph klien had no education beyond grade 11 and was a drunk before he was a politican. He is one of the best premiers in this country and has kept promises.

The big question for me is:
How long does the replacement serve? Is it until a special election is called at the next 2 year cycle like when there is an appointment to a vacated Senate seat? Or do they finish out the term of the official they are replacing?

Who knows. He might actually be good. Really unlikely, but it could happen.
Things get really interesting if they have a recall on Governator also.
Rather glad I don't live in Cali at the moment.

I heard this when I was out tonight, I couldn't stop laughing.
This beats 'The Body' Ventura by a long shot.
Go US politics.

I heard that 65 - 70% of the registered voters in California actually voted yesterday, the best turnout in two decades. My roommate thinks that less than 30% voted 11 months ago when Davis defeated Simon. I wonder if 65 - 70% had voted 11 months ago, the outcome would have been different. Do more people vote when the economy is bad, typically? Or just when the campaign is exciting?

Jesse Ventura actually had experience as an elected official before he became governor. He was Mayor for several years in the town he lives in outside of Minneapolis.
He was also a Navy Seal Captain in Vietnam.
Just extra info.
