Please run, Arnold
July 30, 2003Dammit, it’s looking as though Arnold Schwarzenegger will not run in the recall election. Which is a shame–I’m not a fan of this recall mess but if Davis does end up losing we might as well get somebody decent to replace him.
Not somebody like that creep Issa, who financed the whole recall drive. He’s too conservative, and clearly too self-interested. He financed this recall because he saw the chance to make a grab for the governor’s seat. In a way that’s a ton cheaper than trying to mount a full-blown regular election challenge.
But Arnold running would almost surely have taken the steam out of Issa, and most of the other challengers as well. He’s somebody who at least has some moderate views even if he is a Republican. He’s somebody I think would do well for California, certainly better than Issa and probably better than Davis would have done.
I hope Arnold reconsiders. We need him to run.
