Condi Rice or Schwarzenegger
The Terminator versus the national security adviser for California governor in 2006?
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice are both considering bids to become Governor of California. Schwarzenegger met with Bush Advisor Karl Rove today:If he decides to run, Schwarzenegger may face a challenge from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, who has spoken to senior Republicans about running for California's top job, according to a Bush adviser. Rice's candidacy is a "real possibility," this adviser said, adding that Rice wants to take on an executive role.At this stage, with the states' budget crisis and his general unpopularity, either one could beat Gray Davis. Any suggestions for a better Democratic candidate out there? If not, we'll take Arnold.
Update: Z in the comments section informs us that Gray Davis is term limited. He also makes the valid point that with the election 3 1/2 years away, issues could be vastly different by then. We'll revisit the matter in a few years, and in the meantime, we'll keep an eye on the rising political ambitions of some liberal California entertainers.
