Ted, if Ah-nuld actually had an (I) next to his name, the press would be treating him a lot nicer, celebrity status notwithstanding. After three years of being trashed by conservatives, it would not be surprising if the media didn't treat conservative candidates very well. Having said that, I would say that Arnold has brought this harpooning upon himself. First, he entered the race on a comic note, making the announcement on the Leno show. While some might find that KA kewl, many people were turned off. Secondly, even now, he behaves like the kid who hasn't done his homework. Frankly, he comes off looking stupid.......which I know he's not. So then, either someone has told him to lighten up his image or he thinks his celebrity will carry the day. Either way, he's made himself vulnerable to criticism from the media and other candidates. The worst was his snipe at Bustamante's receding hairline. That took petty politics to a whole new level. And if you don't agree, its because you're being partisan. I know you still believe in the existence of a VRWC, which is probably why you are going nuts over Ah-nuld being an "independent." I don't know what VRWC is. As for my going nuts over Arnold being an independent.......well, we could stand for a few less people operating out of partisanship and instead, being focused on what's best for the country or for a state or for a city. ted
