TOTAL RECALL
(Tuesday) The same people who elected Davis as governor 11 months ago have spoken again. We are fickle!

How did Arnold do it? He kept his mouth shut -- at least in regard to taking any kind of significant position on anything. And then he just rode the wave of fame.

Well, at least now I can sleep soundly knowing that the Terminator is in charge. Or maybe he's pulling a "Bill McKay" right about now. Remember McKay? He, played by Robert Redford, was the straight talking but sort'a clueless lawyer in the 1972 movie The Candidate. He challenged a popular senator for his seat and won in a media-driven campaign -- much to McKay's surprise. And at the end of the movie, having exhausted his bag of tricks just to win the election, he turned and asked, "What do we do now?"

Lord, save me from cynicism!
