It’s Tuesday, so this must be California. Today, the most populous state will take part in nothing less than a political revolution, otherwise known as the California recall. Golden Staters will first decide if they want to oust their elected Governor, and then they’ll choose someone to finish the last three years of his term. That would be a man called Arnold — the muscle-bound movie star, with Kennedy connections, who has wooed and wowed voters with Terminator talk and celebrity walk.
While Governor Davis struggles to rally the Democratic party faithful and convince people that even bureaucrats deserve a second chance, Arnold is riding his wave with an electorate that’s hungry for change, and demanding more personality in its politics.
Guests:
Robert Scheer, columnist for the L.A.Times
and Lou Cannon, Reagan biographer and author of “Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power” and TBA.
