Ahnold pissed away $300 million dollars on a worthless election?
Can't you guys in California start impeachment or recall proceedings against this moron or something for wasting taxpayers money this way?

1. that's what I was wondering - even in CA, 300M is a lot of money
IMHO they get what they deserve for putting the nazi pig in the governorship in the first place.....however, I digress.

2. Where'd you get that number and what all does it include.
Just asking cuz AP has an entirely different $ amount for the cost of the special election. Want to know how far AP actually missed by.

3. The number I've been seeing is 50 million
Either way, add it to the 6 BILLION dollars he left on the table by rejecting the Enron settlement.

9. 529 million was spent on ads by both sides, 80 million was the cost
of actually holding the election. I predict that Arnold will not be running again so please, no more special elections for awhile.
