As I said on September 3rd, "One of my favorite things to do is stand there with people and debate over the issues and then let the people decide." It's just that I like to do it after receiving all the questions in advance and after I've had time to talk to my campaign consultants about what I should say. I'm not afraid of a debate, I'd just rather watch it on TV like my fellow Californians.

I'm running for Governor to lead a people's takeover. I represent you, the people of California. Like you, I went AWOL from my army post as a teenager to compete in a bodybuilding contest. Like you, I own millions of dollars worth of real estate and have made many movies, some of which required me to speak as many as 17 lines.

We Californians know the hardship of having interviews in which we bragged about past sexual and drug-related accomplishments brought up many years later. We know what it's like to be unable to hear Matt Lauer's questions about our tax returns even though they were being piped directly into our ears. We know hardship. We know hard work. And we know that a man with absolutely no government experience can work with the California legislature to balance the budget without raising taxes.

I'm just like you, except, I could own you if I wanted to.
September 5, 2003:
"Like many women, I'm just trying to juggle helping my husband and my four children."
And keeping track of my many, many millions of dollars. And several homes. And horses. It's a struggle.

"Arnold is the most gracious, supportive man I've ever known. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without his support."
I'd have to fall back on the fact that I'm part of one of the most prominent political families in America.
