Another Schwarzenegger problem

The ballot order will vary from district to district. So in some, Arnold will come first, in others, Bustamante.

But this little fact, noted by a message board poster, may cost Schwarzenegger a point or two at the poll. Check out this snippet from the "S"s on the candidate list:

DAVID RONALD SAMS
DARRIN H. SCHEIDLE
MIKE SCHMIER
GEORGE B. SCHWARTZMAN
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
RICHARD J. SIMMONS

Does anyone see Arnold's problem?

And if you think voters aren't that stupid, remember Florida 2000. Heck, simply being the top name on the ballot is usually good for 1-2 extra points.
