Arnold (Schwarzenegger) was right to follow his dream. He's loved this governor's job more than anything else. It was a perfect match for his intellect, his love of people, passion for public policy, and his competitive streak. I've never seen him happier or fulfilled. Even with the ups and downs of the last seven years, if he had to do it over again, he would in a heartbeat, and I believe him.
