Skywalker writes "From the showbiz to the politics: Arnold Schwarzenegger and all predecessors!!

October 7 th 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become governor of the California (with an overwhelming victory, 1.535.580 votes he has had 49,4%). Speaking of star of Hollywood and politics (those that are called in slang "star politicians"), two schools of thought exist related to the question: "And' correct that movie stars make politics? "
The first one "school" it sustains that the politics must be faces from prepared people, what the political truths are; the second more modernist recognizes that the population prefers known faces, that I hide behind the mask from actors good ideas and good wish. Arnold is not the first actor of Hollywood that plunges him in politics and won't be even surely the last to cross this threshold. The most resounding example is had with the by now known Ronald Regan (40° President of the United States from 1981 to 1989) that before becoming president he has been Governor of the California. But the list doesn't end certain here, Clint Eastwood has been chosen the 1986 mayor of Carmel, a city of the California; Sonny Bono, husband of Cher (and singer) it was chosen also him I verify of the city of Palm Springs (California) in 1988. Jesse Ventura champion of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) he was elected in the 1998 Governor of the Minnesota, lost Shirley Temple Black the run for the Congress in 1967. Helen Gahagan Douglas famous actress that has trodden for different years the stage of Broadway, lost the run to the senate against Richard Nixon (37° President reigning Usa from 1969 to 1974). Warren Beatty that in 1999 it aspired (it does him to say), to the armchair of the White House, but apart the glamour, a hole revealed him in the water. Last but not less main point the unlikely even if very beloved Hulk Hogan that he also ran him to the presidency of the United States in 2000.
You is able well to say that America is really in love of stars and these reciprocate affection with promises worthy of note, as he can be noticed by this piece drawn by the discourse of thanks of Arnold: "I won't fail, I won't disappoint you, I won't leave you in the troubles. What I have I have gotten him thanks to the California. When I came here I didn't have anything, absolutely nothing. The California has absolutely given me everything. And today in the California I have had the most beautiful gift of everybody: your trust, your vote. I want to be governor for the people. I want to represent everybody. In front of us there are select binding. The first important choice has been that of this night. We can now make it. We will have to reconstruct together everybody our State, without fighting between us, avoiding new and deeper divisions for the people of the California."
In conclusion we cannot do anything else other than to make our best wishes to the mythical Schwarzy!!!! "
