showed a lot of political chops. He’s going to be an uplifting politician—something this country has needed for many years. He said the people are doing their jobs—and it’s up to the politicians to start doing theirs. What an uplifting thing to say. It makes you feel good just to hear it. We need a lot more of that.
He came up with exactly the right line about his wealth: ‘Believe me—there’s nobody that can pay me off.’ (These quotes are from memory, but I believe it’s close to what Arnold said.)
‘That’s what Gray Davis does—he sells off this state piece by piece to special interests.’ Everybody already agrees with Arnold on this, and he stated it succinctly and at exactly the right moment.
‘We already know Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anybody. We also know he can’t run a state.’ That’s surely a preview of how Arnold will handle the rigors of the campaign. It’ll be hard for Davis to overcome that when he starts slinging mud at Arnold. That line will apply Ju-Jitsu to anything Davis throws at Arnold, and make it boomerang back at Davis.
I’ll see what all the candidates have to say—but at this point Arnold’s a strong contender for my vote.
