[lbo-talk] Myth Making on Schwarzenegger's victory

[Jon Johanning]

Probably because most California voters didn't know anything about 
them, or even never heard their names. I'm on the other coast, but my 
impression of how the media treated the campaign is that Arnold got 95% 
of the attention, and the stripper probably got most of the rest.

It isn't enough to be an excellent radical candidate with brilliant 
ideas -- you have to get your face out in front of the public. It'll be 
a looooong long time before radical politicos can do that in this man's 
country.

It would help a bit if Jon Stewart were watched as much as Jay Leno.
