The Governator is sinking in the polls like a ton of steroid-abusing bricks -- in fact, he may not bother to run for another term. The movie star is actually dodging cameras when he's not dodging reporters' questions. And now he's facing new questions about the costs of his photo-op filling in a San Jose pothole.

Chris Nolan says don't count him out so soon, though, since he likes to come from behind (ahem). But his redistricting ballot measure looks like it's going down in flames, with an appeals court reviewing it with only one week to decide before the ballots are printed. He's even started appearing with farmworkers (on an issue we'd support if it wasn't such an embarrassment that water and breaks for laborers needs to be legislated).

And then there's this:

Friends say that Schwarzenegger has acquired as many as 100 pairs of "fancy boots" and they are not cheap. Some are hand tooled by Scott Emmerich, a Texan who charges up to £40,000 a commission. Emmerich created a pair with the golden seal of California worked into the leather, which the governor keeps for official occasions.

Classy.
