"Garner: Before we get off the electoral process, they wanted me to run for Governor [of California] about 8 years ago — ahem — and I didn't want to do it. I wasn't gonna get in with that-- Tavis Smiley: Now you wish you had. Garner: No, no, no. Tavis Smiley: Hey, Arnold [Schwarzenegger] won. Garner: No. I think I could have won easy, but I don't think that they ought to have somebody like me or Schwarzenegger as Governor. It's no way to run a state."
