Insert Bad Schwarzenegger Pun Here
Okay. As a Minnesotan, I finally have the first inkling of hope that Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign will NOT be a repeat of what Jesse Ventura pulled off in my state. And that hope was offered to me by none other than everybody's favorite bastard, Paul Krugman. His new column in Today's Times basically rips Mr. Muscles a new one, for what is looking to be an attempt to bluff his way through an entire campaign.
See, Ventura was pretty clear from the get-go about what he hoped to accomplish, what he would do, and how he would do it. He gave blunt responses to specific questions about the budget, taxes, and social issues up and down the line. While some of his views may have been bizarre, you certainly didn't want for a lack of detail. Shwarzenegger is turning out to be the exact OPPOSITE. Which is good news for California progressives, and thus good news for the rest of us.
