Big News for California Politics
Umm yeah, Gray Davis just might not be in charge of California all that much longer according to Rueters.
Calif. Close to Declaring Governor Recall Vote

Who's our best hope?
Umm, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yep, an action movie actor is likely poised to take over one of the largest economies on the planet. But its nothing too new, is it. I mean we had Rappin' Ron Reagan a while ago now and he was a dapper cowboy actor.

Yow, what's next? Cage matches in the Senate? Paintball wars to decide on whether laws pass?
At least we'll be able to say stuff that Mini-soda's been saying for a few years now, like "Our Governor can kick your Governor's ass," and "Our Governor used to be a Terminator and Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe, what did yours used to be?".

At least ol' ShrubCo wouldn't give California too much trouble anymore because I'm sure Georgie's a big fan of the Ahhnuld and probably scared witless (oh wait, can't be scared witless if you ain't got no wits to begin with) of the big lug.

[Update: Leblanc has very rightly pointed a much overlooked rule on the books regarding succession. The GOP that's pushing so hard to recall Davis apparently isn't aware that Davis' Lieutenant Governor will automatically succeed him so there's not gonna be any mid-term election. And all the effort and hot air is pretty much, for nothing. Thanks for the insight and the pin to pop this silliness.]
