20. Yes and no
Arnold isn't invicible, but he is damn close, especially if the dems make the mistake of trying to run a celebrity against a celebrity.

The dems really need to find a CEO type. NON-POLITICIAN, NON-CELEBRITY, someone who seems really interested in fixing the problems. A Ross Perot type without the wackiness.

You then run the election on the grounds of solutions vs. ego. Arnold is all ego, catch phrases and the like. That will only stand up if you run a similar candidate against him.

TAKE ARNOLD OUT OF HIS ELEMENT and you have something. Force him to answer tough policy questions. Give business like analysis to the state's financial problems and show how it can be fixed. Arnold is a celebrity and he is damn good at being one. Why give him the chance to run at what he does best????
