I'll be honest I like Arnold. I think he and Riordan are the only two republicans who could win here, Simon I like the guy its just he has the charisma of Al Gore. McClintock I like his believes he was just too conservitive for california right now and a bit arrogant. Darell Issa has earned my support no matter what he's running for(he gave up running for governor so his party could have a chance to win and so the state could get back on track by sitting out and not hogging votes) but again might be too conservitive for Cali.
Schwarzenegger should win big if he runs again. Notice I say if, Maria might not want him to run for re-elaction if things are getting stressful on the family or getting politocaly personal. If this happens and Schwarzenegger drops out for personal reasons expect Riordan to step up to the plate and with Arnold's endorsement easily take the republican nomination and beat the democrats candidate who will probably be just another "I have experience vote me" candidates.
I heard that Schwarzenegger met with Riordan before deciding and was surprised by how unorganized and out of it that Riordan seemed. That knowledge pushed him to run himself rather than encourage Riordan.
Hmmm thats interesting I've never heard that before.
