In Ahnold's defense I heard him on Stern and he's an interesting and relatively well-spoken guy. I think that quote is pretty lousy, overall I got a better sense of him on the show. Do I think he's governor material? Well no comment on the past few governers who have made it all the way to the White House, but I'd say that Arnold is no worse or better than they are.
