The Governator's old friends could influence public policy?

"Franco Columbu, a former Mr. Olympis, training partner, confidant, and best friend of Arnold's during his bodybuilding heyday, is also a Chiropractor. It's probably much tougher to keep up any sense of objectivity under these circumstances, I would think."

Who Ahnold has in his circle of friends may be relevant to his capability to be governor. Concerns may well be unfounded, yet if any political agenda toting special interest group (i.e. Chiropractors) have a special "in" (i.e. old friend) at the governor's mansion, don't you think they'd use it? (BTW, I voted party lines despite Sen. Hatch's list of personal friends and despite what he's apparently done for "supplement" peddlers. A candidate's socio-economic agenda should carry more weight than whether or not the person is pro-chiropractic or not, or even things like pro-choice or not.
