I still find it amazing that the American public, (well, part of it) will vote someone into public office on the basis of his no-nonsense, take no shit, kick-ass movie characters........no-one knows much about the man himself.
Incidentally, all I know is that he was involved in some kind of land deal not long after he arrived in America that crashed big time........having said that though, and talking to a few Yanks on another site, the feeling is he couldn't do much worse than Gray Davis - and a fresh face/approach is definitely good sometimes.
One thing though - he better not fuck up, cos he, and the state of California will have HEAPS of publicity..........
