Did you see the exit poll results on CNN?

64% said that Arnold wasn't clear on the issues.

But 56% said that personal qualities of the candidate were more important than the issues.*

* I'm not sure, but I think this # represents 56% of those who voted for Arnold

This sums up some of what I've been reading in Dyslexicon this week. :roll:

It's like what Clint Eastwood, reportedly, said to a reporter, speaking to Arnold, when commenting on Arnold's run for governor..."be careful what you wish for".

Yes, and "Titty Grabber" has such exemplary personal qualities.

The buzz on the newschannels, is about how the Republicans, now, have their own, "Clinton".

The whole election was a joke. Garry Coleman? Larry Flynt? :lol:

As long as you don't live in California, it should be a very entertaining few years.

But, Orrin Hatch is already introducing a constitutional amendment allowing non-native-born citizens to be President.
