Yeah, that's only in San Francisco; but whenever I go to San Francisco I wear flowers in my hair and meet gentle people there

I have heard that it's the fifth largest economy in the world - who could be above it? The USA itself, England, Russia, maybe France or Germany? Or Japan? hmm...

Google to the rescue!

I'm surprised there's no Russia in there

"We have to make sure everyone in California has a great job. A fantastic job!"

Yeah!! We need jobs!!! This guy clearly knows what he's talking about.

"This is really embarrassing. I just forgot our state governor's name, but I know that you will help me recall him."

Oh man that was so entertaining!!! He's not boring like the other politicians!!! "Recall him"... what a guy. Thank you Arnold!!!!!!!!! I loved all your movies!!!!!

Ugh. Sometimes I think the US needs to be split up in 50 little countries.

Anyone in California who hasn't voted today and is still entertaining thoughts of voting Arnold, read above please.

*Jake* · 10-07-2003, 07:49 AM

That's San Francisco and the 60s. Though remixor, tabacco, and myself are all living "around" San Francisco (south of it and east of it)... Last time I checked, tabacco wasn't wearing any flowers. Can't vouch for the remixor though.

Re: Reagan... lets not bring him up. Nothing like a governer who unleashes crazies onto the street creating a giant homeless problem, messes everything up financially, and allegedly had ketchup declared a vegetable to cut budgets for school lunches ¬ Fear.

The Thatcher years suddenly don't seem so bad.........................

then again....................

If Arnold wins, then the US will be safe from Predators. You'll have Arnold and Jesse Venture ready for them, they know how to take then down.

Now we just need Danny Glover from Predator 2 to become President.

DustCropper · 10-07-2003, 11:10 AM

I just came back from voting. I've just moved to Irvine, in Orange County, which is a very very conservative part of California. But don't worry, that doesn't affect my views at all and I voted No on the recall and No on Prop 54.

And also I've noticed that San Francisco has been brought up here, so I'd like to contribute by saying that SAN FRAN ROCKS!

remixor · 10-07-2003, 11:13 AM

Nice, DustCropper. Good job

Yeah, SF is a great city. I live in Berkeley, so it's pretty easy for me to get into SF on the BART in about 20 minutes.

I've been to Irvine a few times. I'm from San Diego before I lived here, so Irvine wasn't too far.

Schwarzenegger Running Out Of Movie-Related Campaign Slogans
LOS ANGELES—Two months after he announced his candidacy for the California gubernatorial recall election, Arnold Schwarzenegger is running out of movie-related campaign quips. "Government and special-interest groups should not be 'Twins,'" the actor said during the Sept. 24 debate. At a fundraising breakfast Monday, the actor told a confused group of business leaders, "I will 'Jingle All The Way' to Sacramento!" Breakfast attendee Ken Straus said Schwarzenegger "really hit the bottom of the barrel" minutes later, when the actor announced, "In the movies, I played Hercules going bananas. But it's the tax-and-spend Democrats who are really going bananas."

I worry.

Can't say I am.

I don't think anyone would have if Arnold wouldn't keep bringing him up as his biggest hero.

I read that the other day, and I just about crapped myself laughing.

Kingzjester · 10-07-2003, 02:24 PM

Cremo, I don't think 'he has no experience' is a valid enough a point.

You know, I live in Texas and I cannot vote yet (I am not close to being a citizen), I really shouldn't make fun of California's woes... Texas is a far more depressing state - politics wise - than California. Republicans are practically throwing out the three remaining democrats in the state parlament by calmly redrawing the district lines while the poor chaps scream at them... Pity me.

Zygomaticus · 10-07-2003, 02:27 PM

Time draws close. Results in another 48 minutes...

***tabacco*** · 10-07-2003, 03:18 PM

http://www.sfgate.com/election/races/2003/10/07/ is a little more live. It's kinda close, so far.

Kingzjester · 10-07-2003, 03:22 PM

9% of precincts reporting... that is good... what is the damned time difference? Two hours?

EST is +3 hours PST.

Well Ahnold's in the lead for now, but there's a good way to go...

BacardiJim · 10-07-2003, 03:43 PM

They are calling it already. 58% for recall and Ahnold leading Bustamante by a 2-1 margin.

***tabacco*** · 10-07-2003, 04:02 PM

Yeah, I saw that
