Friday, October 10, 2003 Math the election results showed that 55% of Californians favored recall of Davis and 45% against it. From earlier reports I learnt 30% more voters showe up than before, and most of them are young people. Tha analysts commented that it was a bad sign for Davis, since majority of these kids are Arnold's big fans. And it turns out how right it is. I understand that people in California expect change and rejuvenation, I just don't see how a popular action star can do it. He could be the one, in big screen, to conquer all and save the world, which, it seems, serve the most effective political campaign in this election. I like Arnold and most of his images in movies, but when I watch him on TV promised to his supporters that "I will fight with the bad guys just like what I do in my movies", I still think both himself and his audience can not tell apart the reality and illusion. Bin suggested the election reform should include weighting the votes from higher-educated people. While argueing it is against the spririt of democracy and equality, I think it might sounds right to this particular election. Sometimes we do need some reason than craze. posted by lmeimei @4:15 PM| permanent link| | |
