I think the idea of having a successful actor (financially secure and has that career to fall back on) is a positive thing. My sister went up to Sactown earlier this year, all of Grey Davis' staff dislikes him because he spends all his energy in fund raising for himself instead of doing his job. I think with AS, he is coming from a successful run in the movie industry, he can alway fall back on that, which I think can let him actually do something about CA's economy.. Whereas, Davis is relying on campaigning to remain Governor instead of actually making a difference and letting that be his ticket to staying..
