Yeah, getting rid of Rumsfeld is huge, and it looks like the Senate will go to the Democrats after all (which will be exciting, it won't stop vetos, but it will put a lot of pressure on Bush).

Yeah, no one could hope to win against Arnold, so only some total moron would run (as a Democrat, the Green party candidate was really a very good candidate, but of course he had no chance of winning). Southern California loves having a movie star in the Governor's mansion, and Arnold spends untold millions to make sure no one has an chance against him. The only good thing about him is that he doesn't like to look bad, so he will occassionally do something good for the enviornment (not often, but occassionally) just so he doesn't look like ... well, Bush.
