SAN DIEGO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will run for re-election next year, a top aide said Friday.

ADVERTISEMENT

Schwarzenegger "felt it was very important to let the people of California know this governor plans to be around for the long haul," campaign spokesman Todd Harris said. "It's not a 24-month job, it's a five-year job and he intends to see it through to the end."

The governor had been expected to make the announcement when he speaks to guests at a noon rally here.

The Republican actor-turned-governor, who has hinted as much for weeks, had all but launched a campaign Wednesday, telling supporters, "I'm not in this just for the short term."

1. sorry arnold

we only elected you in the recall because we thought it would be funny.

[IndyJones]

14. It will be crystal clear if it will be worth it for him to re-run after

November 8. If everything he's trying to push gets squashed, he's out.

The ad campaigns over the next couple of months are going to get out of hand, no doubt.

[Greeby]

2. Any Dem contenders?

:shrug:

[FVZA_Colonel]

3. The article does mention a few

Excerpt:

State Treasurer Phil Angelides and Controller Steve Westly have announced they will seek the Democratic nomination. Two liberal Hollywood luminaries, director Rob Reiner and actor Warren Beatty, also have been mentioned as possible candidates.


I personally think we should stay away from people in the acting field and stick to people with established governmental backgrounds, just so we could avoid charges of our candidates having a lack of experience.

20. Why not just replace one actor with another?

Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, Arnold Schwarzeneger...

[Tiggeroshii]

35. I never knew sonny bono was an actor..

Bono was a repug, right?

[AlGore-08.com]

44. F.Y.I. Sonny Bono was never Governor

He was a Congressman.

[gratuitous]

4. It's not a 24 month job, it's a five year job"

Yeah, California is in too good a shape financially to be completely and irrevocably ruined in just two years. Ah-nuld needs a little more time to loot the place and funnel the state treasury into his wealthy friends' pockets.

[Lochloosa]

5. ...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Binka]

6. Lance Armstrong At His Side? What a Fucking Tool And FOOL!!

Anymore Armstrong shills want to tell me again he is a Dem? This is fucking GOP shit in action. Lance is a TOOL! And a DICK.

[theHandpuppet]

7. Thank you!

So busy whoring for the GOP I'm surprised he has time to pedal.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. what's a good lefty like sheryl crow doing dating him?

armstrong is rw scum

[FreeStateDemocrat]

24. He whores for pharmaceuticals company what else should we expect?

If the guy was really motivated by other people’s problems without being on the pill company pad I might have been a little less suspicious of his motives but he is just another celebrity pimping himself by trying to hustle the spotlight for his own personal gain. It shouldn't have to take getting cancer yourself to motivate one to become involved and getting paid to do so.

[StudentOfDarrow]

8. He doesn't have a shot.

The seat is as good as ours.

[NV Whino]

9. He can seek all he wants

He ain't gonna get it.

[lwin]

Phil Angelides

Is the man. www.angelides.com

[Moochy]

10. He's on CNN now puke

grr

[deacon2]

11. How lucky for my battered, beleagured state.

We're already having bake sales for school books - my daughters are sharing text books with their classmates - and they're cutting "enrichment" programs from the curriculum. I'm certain that none of the Governator's friends are suffering from a lack of enrichment, however. Problem is, after electing this feeble fraud, the door is now wide open for something even worse.

[deadparrot]

12. Good. He's gonna get his ass kicked.

And that's going to be oh-so-sweet to watch.

[Born_A_Truman]

15. We can only hope!

We'll see how the current buyer's remorse holds up out here. Of course I couldn't believe he won the recall/election either.

[deadparrot]

16. I trust you Californians.

Or should I say "Cully-for-nee-uns?"

;)

His approval ratings have been tanking for quite some time now, haven't they? Somewhere in the 30s?

Good luck, in any case. :hi:

[zanne]

21. Aren't his approval rathings in the toilet? n/t

[barb162]

41. I so hope you're right

[JackieO]

17. with Diebold, anything is possible

:think:

[xxqqqzme]

22. we get VVPB as of 1/1/06

legislation passed - Rethug SOS de-certfied diebold

[JackieO]

25. i think I know what that stands for

but what does it mean? it won't be vote tampered?

If it's an honest election, I don't think he stands much of a chance.

[xxqqqzme]

39. voter verified paper ballots...eom

[edbermac]

18. Hey Arnold, guess what?....You WON'T be back!

[pinniped]

19. :middlefinger:, Pet Terminator.

.

[PATRICK]

23. Sort of apologetic isn't it?

Well, gosh, I owe it to my fans not to be a lame duck.

Pitiful or disingenuous. I hope his managers stay as incompetent as they are dishonest.

[VegasWolf]

26. Isn't it time for California to say, "Hasta la Vista, Baby!" nt

[Placebo]

27. His re-election prospects are pretty slim though.

With approval ratings in the 30 percent range or so, and a strong democratic challenger...I really don't see any way, with a fair voting system, how he could win.

[Megahurtz]

28. OH PLEASE!!!

:puke:If we go through this Diebold shit here again I am going to SCREAM!!!:argh:

[Demeter]

29. Seek, But You Won't Find

because you are vaporware now. The Terminator has terminated himself.

[Andromeda]

30. You should have seen him strutting...

around around on the stage cracking jokes and suggesting that people who didn't vote for him just didn't like his movies. He was in San Diego putting on his performance before his adoring hand-picked audience.

CNN's Leslie Blitzer was really whoring it up today showing lots of Bush, then Arnold, then back to Bush. He had Bay Buchanan and James Carville as guests for discussion of Bushes speech. James was so-so--he didn't really have too much to say--and Bay, as usual, was swooning over Bush. She did say that he didn't look presidential enough because he should have worn a suit and tie---then complained that the backdrop wasn't suitable and he should've given his speech in the oval office.

Leslie was doing his best to prop up president junior and defended the way he dressed.

I remember a couple of days ago when CNN's Blitzer gave about TWO SECONDS to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as they were fielding questions from reporters. Blitzer cut them off he said "we'll monitor them." He never got back to them and we didn't get to hear the questions and answers.

[Cha]

31. What the Fuck does he know?

Who said he was going to win just because he runs?

Does he know something fucking fishy about diebold voting machines? No paper trail?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

32. "It's not a tumor."

[Fire Walk With Me]

33. Does that translate to: "Arnold to steal election"?

[Piperay]

34. He's in trouble here

that is why he had to announce now cause it's the only way he can bring in some money to campaign with and even at that he has to take a million of his own. :rofl:

[hogwyld]

36. Nope

Heard that he's using 5 million of his own.

[Piperay]

47. Wow, I hadn't heard that...

I wish he would bankrupt himself.

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. This is the "Interesting Times" curse the Chinese talk about.

Push push, struggle...

[despairing optimist]

38. Californians, make sure Arnold smokes all the cigars he wants

Run cigar drives, ship him trailer loads.

And send all extras to Rudy Giuliani. Thanks so much!

[barb162]

40. People of California, please don't vote for that slug again.

[Zynx]

43. I think they learned their lesson.

[TheStates]

42. I'll be back.....

..With my Diebold tabulator machine he says.

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. He lept [people in a list out of the meetihg

per spanish news, inclding my state rep Lori Saldana

[thingsarelookingup]

46. Didn't vote for him the first time and won't this time..

I have a great t-shirt that I got at a rally in Pasadena.
It says:

Total Recall

arNOld

I haven't spoken to anyone who has anything positive to say about him here in California.
