MOVIE star Arnold Schwarzenegger stormed to victory in California's governorship race today and promised: "I will not disappoint you.''

Exit polls suggested the 56-year-old Terminator star won an easy victory and current Governor Gray Davis conceded defeat.

Speaking less than three hours after polls closed Republican Schwarzenegger told supporters: "I want to be the people's governor, I want to represent everybody, I believe in the people of California.''

Austrian-born Schwarzenegger, whose campaign was hit by lurid sex allegations, called for people of all political persuasions to reunite and make California "the greatest state of the greatest country in the world''.

He said: "For the people to win, politics as usual must lose.''

Californians turned out in droves and more than half - about 55 per cent - voted to "recall'' Davis, effectively throwing him out of office, according to the exit polls.

The Democrat governor has been accused of leading the state into a massive budget deficit by mismanaging the economy.

He is only the second governor in American history to be recalled.

The exit polls suggested that Schwarzenegger had comfortably beaten his closest rivals, Democrat Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante and Republican State Senator Tom McClintock.

Meh.

Wow, I honestly think he wouldn't win.

A sign of the end of times, perhaps?

Apparently the Californians voted for him because he's a big movie star, as though the english new says and now they are un-sure or worried of what his plans are.

I think that may have been the case, but a lot of people I talked to from CA seemed to be afraid of him becoming governer because he won't be able to make any movies while he's in office.

But I also watched a documentary about him last night for some weird odd reason. He's a pretty smart guy and actually knows what he's talking about. So I'm sure that maybe a lot of the voters voted for him because of that reason.

Don't you see, he's making way for the invasion of his Austrian supernation who will feel up your women and do nude gay magazine shoots.

Its the way ahead I tells ya. . .

Well, everything but the gay part.

What is wrong with gay magazine shoots????


And on behalf of the Germanic nations of the world what few remain, I would like to say that he does represent the Teutonic/Nordic peoples accurately. We do not openly grope nor do we have limited vocabularies.

We are, unlike the American press, able to differentiate between admiring Hitler's speaking METHODS and admiring him. Sheehs!!!!

Ja aber österreichisch heritige leitet noch vom Gual anscestory ab, der normalerweise von den germanischen Stämmen geteilt wird.

Warum Raktus, deinen deutschen-spricht arbeiten geneinem sein. Aber das zusammen, die Frankreich-Herr am dies Tagen und die Jaederjahr ist ekualische mit die germanische.

For those of you who are going to place that into a translator it will not work. The region of Germany I am from does not speak Hoch-deutsche, but a dialect known as Biddiche.

Dont care about the regions really, still the same peoples from history
