Schwarzenegger is a republican, and has been involved with politics for a long time. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. But He's a likeable guy, very funny, a celebrity, and will fix what's wrong "and stuff" so that doesn't matter.
?

TIA; I've been avoiding it, but I reckon I'll check out Howard Dean's website. (Can you set up a blue clicky?) I doubt he could win against Bush, but you never know. I think we're too far into the two-party system for a true maverick on either side to have a chance. It's likely Hillary Clinton, (An amateur anti-Christ) wlii jump into the race. And she's a likeable celebrity, what more could you ask for?

It looks to me as if "the pendulum" in America is defying the laws of physics and swinging wider each time rather than settling toward the center. In politics, the liberals and conservatives are moving further away from each other and spewing hatred instead of rational arguments. (e.g. the anti-Bush and the anti-Clinton groups) Economically the gap between rich and poor is getting larger. Or am I missing something

Sorry to sound so cynical, but, well, I'm cynical.
