IMO this is a guy who's put the goober back in gubernatorial.

He has a BS from the University of Wisconsin-Superior. When asked, he only says that he has a University of Wisc. degree, not that it came from a smaller 4-year campus within the UW system.

Here's a bit from one of the on-line news services about the new Gubernator's learning curve:

Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger called on Gov. Gray Davis not to make any more appointments or sign legislation in the waning days of his administration, although Schwarzenegger acknowledged it is Davis' right to do so.

"I would like it really if he doesn't sign any more bills, as far as that goes," Schwarzenegger said.

Davis spokesman Steven Maviglio said Davis will continue to make appointments and act on legislation. He added, "The governor-elect might be interested to learn that bills Governor Davis does not act on before the 13th of the month automatically become law."

In California, the governor may veto a bill, sign it or allow it to become law without signing it.
