Golden State Republicans are looking seriously at actors Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Conrad and Ben Stein to challenge Democratic Gov. Gray Davis in 2002.
After all, La La Land actually elected a really bad actor, Republican Ronald Reagan, as governor for two terms.
And another bad actor, Republican Sonny Bono, as mayor of Palm Springs and as a United States Representative.
Following California's swoon for celebrity politicians, Americans twice elected Reagan--costar with Bonzo, the chimpanzee--as U.S. President.
Let's hope that Schwarzenegger gets the Republican nomination and defeats Davis in polling booths lit by candles.
While the Austrian-born thespian might actually terminate California's energy abusers, he won't then be eligible to run for President or Vice President because of his naturalized American citizenship.
