Arnold Schwarzenegger will probably not run for California governor

Officially, Arnold announced today that he's "considering" running for governor. But, it's starting to get around that Arnold's wife is against him running for governor. Now Drudge has learned that he has already made the decision not to run.

Here's the full scoop from Drudge:

Drudge said:
Arnold Schwarzenegger Said Not Running, sources close to the actor tell the DRUDGE REPORT, citing family concerns... Developing...

Arnold's spokesman said:
"Arnold is discussing his candidacy with his family. He is weighing the pros and cons of a candidacy and has made no determination at this time as to whether he will run in a likely recall election, nor has he made a determination that he will not run.

Media reports that Arnold has made a decision not to run are incorrect.

At this time, we are monitoring the activities of the Secretary of State’s office and the Lieutenant Governor’s office, as well as potential court challenges."
 
Also, polls show that although only roughly 25% of Californians approve of Gray Davis's job, 51% say they would not vote to recall him.

Even though Californians hate Gray, the alternative, a Republican, is NOT an option for most.

This is what Gray had to say:

"This election is not about changing governors. It's about changing direction and I am confident the voters of this state will not opt for a right-wing agenda over a progressive agenda."

and I think he's right. I think Arnold is the only shot at replacing him, since Arnold is closer to libertarian than conservative in my opinion. And he's got a name, a name so powerful that people might overlook his views and vote for him anyways.

People aren't smart enough to vote for political reasons. Especially people from California (no offense guys). They'll see Terminator running and go vote for him just for those reasons.
