> So what do we have? A Hollywood action hero moview actor (BTW what *are* his qualifiecations to run a State of that size, let alone any government?). Then there is the has-been child actor Gary Coleman. And a reporter (Huffman)

The reporter's name is Huffington (Arianna) - her jumping into the race prompted me to pick up her last book "Pigs at the Trough" - http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=62-1400047714-0 . I'm half way through it - its a little breezy in style, but does have a whole lot of information about how the last couple of administrations have caved into big business to the extent that sleezy things like Enron and WorldCom can happen. It puts names and dollar figures on campaign contributions and lobbying efforts behind the systematic laxing of regulatory controls over big business practices that have permitted the worst of the excesses that we've seen in the last while. A pretty informative read. She definitely has an idea of some of the issues that need to addressed (more than Arnold, anyway).
