California dreaming
So Arnie's famous line that "I'll be back" has proved true. He has shrugged off the groping allegations and stormed to victory with a resounding 47% of the vote. "The running man" has "terminated" Gray Davis. Yes, OK, enough puns! The biggest concern about this predictable victory is what it will do for the survival chances of Dubya in the Presidential elections next year. We have already seen how control of the Governor's mansion in Florida can be used to good advantage, is this result a portent of a swing to the Republicans in America's biggest state or is it just showbiz gone wrong? We will have to see.
