Schwarzenegger had never *held* office but he was cultivating an image as a civic-minded moderate who understood how California worked. — PolitiTweet.org

Schwarzenegger had spent years building political cred before the recall. 11 months before he won the gov race, he was the face of a successful education funding ballot measure. https://t.co/YPEs9Uf44X https://t.co/q9UgxFHZDt — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, the last time we all did this California elected a celebrity with no political experience https://t.co/BJSNjIO1Bv

Anyway, it feels like 2003 is remembered as "Californians were so angry they elected a celebrity!" It was more complicated than that, and Schwarzenegger put in work to convince people he would be a competent governor. — PolitiTweet.org
