For instance, I don't recall seeing the NJ governor visiting us on the news, while Bush was nearly every day the biggest news item. (But then I suppose half of Brussel wasn't closed off, security measures weren't set up weeks in advance and a part of normal life in the city wasn't detrailed for the coming of the NJ governor, which might very well explain the lesser attention paid to him.)

for instance, the only governor i can name in america is arnold schwarzwenegger

And MacGrevey, but that's because I read about him in Entmoot, not in the news. BTW, I cannot remember if he was kicked off as Governor or not.

He resigned, after a couple months delay which was built into his dramatic press conference.

No only did he resign though - he held out his resignation until AFTER the election event hough he had announced it - so that way the Senate president became governor and we were unable to actualy elect our governor.

Codey is now the most powerful governor in the US - with being both the governor AND the senate president, since he didn't have to give up his seat. McGreevey held off so he could guartanee that the governorship would go to a democrat, since we don't have a leutinent governor. We now have a referendum ready for Novemeber so we can vote on a change to the Constitution, but even so- we won't have a Leutinent governor until 2009 I believe because first we have to change the Constitution.
