I hereby predict that the media will skewer Ahhnold
in order to regain (in their minds) the coveted "fair and balanced" title. I think you will see Arnold ripped to shreds by the media, for the sole purpose of them saying "what liberal media?".

Arnold will be slaughtered by the media, he is their perfect target.

2. I have my doubts..................
they've pretty much pushed the Republican agenda unabated thus far, and I can't see them changing horses in the middle of the "California Recall Circus" stream. There are just too many jingoistic treasures (Ah'll be back, hasta la vista baby etc.) for them not to back the theater involved with Ahhhhnold's candidacy. They'll have America fauning over him in no time at all.

4. Why should they stop sucking up to Republicans now?
Why do you think they'll give Ah-nold any more trouble than their fair-haired boys, George and Jeb.

They fully expect Ah-nold to steal the state, then take Feinstein's senate seat and hold it for the next 30 years because voters are too stupid to see past his celebrity status and realize that he is a man with zero accomplishments.

The media will NOT skewer Ah-nold. They will love and protect him because he's a celebrity. We are allowing them to creat a monster.

8. Arnold is perfect..
He can learn the lines and recite them well. It might make up for the dimwit. They use empty heads, to get what they want. It is so obvious. Ann Richards told us on Larry King, just that. The WH is in charge.

6. Dumb Californians elected Sonny Bono for congress
I think Arnie the Groper has a chance because of name recognition and he is a stupid celebrity. I remember when Bonehead was being bombarded by policy questions by the media and was downright embarrassing to watch. He still won. Celebrity is the problem here folks.

9. the media are the worst starfuckers around
so they're gonna be kissing Arnold's ass all the way to election day.

They're the ones cumming gallons all over Arnold, certainly not the people of California.

11. I saw a pandering People Mag cover yesterday
I didn't open it---the grocery line wasn't that long---but the cover basically promised to set all of us straight on the "rumors" about Schwartzenegger's marriage----the fact that it started, as so many of these blurbs do with (paraphrase): long time married with four children what are the rumors and the truth?

I'm interested in the fact that the number of children and the failure to divorce means, in most of these media formulations, that the bad rumors simply *can't* really be true!!! Newsweek's article did the same saying (again, an approximation) something about rumors with the big BUT that whatever people say, he's still married to his FIRST wife and has a bunch of kids!

Turn on him? Nah, there isn't enough time for them to tire of their toy and no one potentially coming up behind him to scoop the limelight.
