Election Watch

For the THE SIXTH DAY in a row Arnold Schwarzeneggar has been campaigning fiercely under the RED HEAT of California's summer sun, as he has gone from body-builder to actor to RUNNING MAN. He is not the first actor to do so, of course. Ronald Reagan won the governorship of California following a successful acting career. Whether Arnold will be the LAST ACTION HERO to pursue a political career remains to be seen.

Beginning last Thursday, public allegations have been made by several women likening Arnold to CONAN THE BARBARIAN in his conduct with them. The charges paint him as a sexual PREDATOR using COMMANDO-like tactics in his advances toward them. Arnold has responded by stating that he doesn't have TOTAL RECALL of the events since many took place fifteen or twenty years ago, but that he is getting a RAW DEAL at the hands of democratic opponents. Arnold's supporters have complained that there isn't time to prove which allegations are lies, which may be true, or which are TRUE LIES. Arnold did mumble something about being playful with TWINS many years his JUNIOR, but admitted that time has been like an ERASER where his memory is concerned.

As we have came to the END OF DAYS before the election, we will see if the allegations against him cause Arnold to fail in his attempt to be Gray Davis' TERMINATOR. It will remain to be seen if COLLATERAL DAMAGE has been done to his acting career. If so, perhaps fellow gubernatorial candidate, Gary Coleman, who has fallen back on jobs as a security guard, can offer Arnold tips on how to become a KINDERGARTEN COP at Beverly Hills Elementary School.

But the biggest question on the mind of California voters is, Will Arnold be the state's savior, or are its problems too big for even BATMAN AND ROBIN to solve?
