From the California recall circus, in which over one hundred candidates vied to replace a supposedly inept governor, Schwarzenegger emerged triumphant. How did this onetime bodybuilding champion, with no political experience and a string of mediocre action movies to his name, come to take over the world's fifth-largest economy? Journalist and novelist Indiana makes the case that this tale is a product of a media-soaked culture, in which image matters more than substance. With so many candidates in the race, Schwarzenegger certainly wasn't the most qualified, the most articulate, or the most credible--but he was the most famous. And for the majority of Californians, that was enough.--From publisher description. 000295166 60010 $$aSchwarzenegger, Arnold. 000295166 650_0 $$aPolitical culture$$zUnited States. 000295166 650_0 $$aCelebrities$$zUnited States$$xPolitical activity. 000295166 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$xElection$$y2004. 000295166 650_0 $$aMass media$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States. 000295166 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States. 000295166 650_0 $$aGovernors$$zCalifornia$$xElection. 000295166 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y2001-2009. 000295166 651_0 $$aCalifornia$$xPolitics and government$$y1951- 000295166 85200 $$bgen$$hE902$$i.I48$$i2005 000295166 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:295166$$pGLOBAL_SET 000295166 980__ $$aBIB 000295166 980__ $$aBOOK 000295166 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
