Arnold's political experience involved fucking a Kennedy, and nothing more. As you said, CA was one of the top 10 world economies and we are putting someone with less experience than Obama, that can't even charm people with his speaking prowess in charge of it.

I hear the experience argument, off topic - I reckon this is also the main reason why for example the supreme court judges serve a life tenure.
Would believe it's also a matter of being able to control the "hidden" administrative force that's behind any executive, as it's pretty much impossible for a human to keep track of all the proposals / decisions that are required to be reviewed / executed.
I can imagine the lobbying to reach huge proportions, and if you can't influence the reign you can always influence the opposition to block any bill that's a potential threat for your interests.
What are the main private interests in game?
On the other hand, experience without drive and direction is worthless - do you believe that someone with say 30 + years of experience in government administration would be able to play the cards right and move the steering towards the right direction?
I personally did spend a certain time working with local government, and can attest from my brief experience that experience is everything if you actually want to make something happen, it doesn't always necessarily be you, who's the experienced though.
