I am worried about the upcoming election for California's Governor. I have heard people rant about Meg Whitman and her views on things and i haven't liked what I've heard, but that isn't what is worrying me as much as she is the only one i have been hearing from. every commercial on this election is either her commercial promoting herself or one

I do not like talking politics among friends, though I am going to slightly stray from this. I do not like people who say we need to replace politicians with themselves as a new option, because truthfully aren't they trying to become politicians and aren't politicians who we need in politics?

She learned a lot from Arnold

A lot of Arnold's campaign momentum was won on name recognition alone. It looks like she's trying for a similar coup by making sure her name is the best known on the ballot.

Arnold didn't get elected on his political office skills.
