[quote:post_uid0]As for the Jesse Ventura comparison you are quite wrong. Jesse Ventura was a very successful mayor of a large city in Minnesota, had been involved in politics most of his life, and was in the race for governor for more than a few weeks (plus he had real debates, which is why he won).[/quote:post_uid0]

First of all, how can I be wrong? I didn't say anything about him. A professional wrestler was elected to be governor, and my point is that that looks like a bigger joke on the surface than electing an actor.

Arnold has been involved in politics for over twenty years, but it's something that people who want to make a joke of this election choose to ignore. He's been closely involved with the Republican party and has started all kinds of outreach programs. His business experience (which is very important for any leader of California) is extensive. Anybody that can turn $20 into $800 million knows what it takes to have a successful business environment.

[quote:post_uid0]The entire state of California is a joke. This shouldn't surprise anyone.[/quote:post_uid0]

Over the past month or two I've heard a lot of these kind of backhanded comments about California; can we just get rid them? When are they just going to fall off the edge of America? etc. If find it funny because people don't seem to realize just how important California is to this country. An independant California (which is a dream of mine) would make America a shell of it's current superpower status. California is the only state in the Union that could be a powerful country on it's own. We would be the fifth largest economy in the world, we have very large business, technology, military and agriculutural sectors which is something no other state could really claim. And just think of how much more money California would have if all the money generated in Hollywood got to stay in California instead going to federal tax. So in summary, we rule and you can make all the jokes that you want but you must realize that we are the most powerful and important state by far.
