Schwarzenegger prevailed
Voters traded a career Democratic politician who became one of the state's most despised chief executives for a moderate Republican megastar who had never before run for office. Davis became the first California governor pried from office and only the second nationwide to be recalled. Schwarzenegger prevailed despite a flurry of negative publicity in the campaign's final days, surviving allegations that he had groped women and accusations that as a young man he expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler. The 56-year-old Austrian immigrant _ husband of television journalist Maria Shriver _ finds himself in charge of the United States' most populated state with an economy surpassed only by those of several countries.
