My "educated" hunch is that Arnie is gonna experience pretty much exactly what Jessie Ventura did... he'll have great and useful workable new fresh excellent ideas and will get stalled, short-sheeted, lied to, blocked, undercut, fillibustered, diverted and bull------d every step of the way... with almost NO recognizable improvement when his term is finished. I do believe that Mr. Conan underestimates the power of PUBLIC special interest groups as much as he vows an attack on private ones.
Unless something remarkable happens in the next two days, I do believe he has an extremely good chance of being elected. That's why the "professional politicians" are scrambling like crazy to find some kind of a way to terminate the Governator. Gotta admire his enthusiasm though...
The problem is seldom who the leader is or what their political party is.
And then, "Hasta la vista" Arnie. Still, it'll be great fun to have him in there fighting an unscripted real-life power greater than himself. Anything could happen, and not all of it good.
There's always hope.
