SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger signaled on Wednesday that he would seek a second term as governor in what would already be his fifth major campaign since seeking the office in 2003.

The former Hollywood actor kicked off a series of campaign events this week ahead of a special election he has called for November on teacher pay, redistricting and the state budget. In an appearance before an invited audience in Clovis, California, he said he would announce on Friday whether he will seek a second term for governor starting in 2006.
"I'm not in this for the short term," he told the crowd, strongly suggesting he would run again. "I believe strongly in follow-up."
Speaking to often enthusiastic crowds in controlled campaign settings is a role the star of the "Terminator" star clearly relishes, and perhaps his greatest talent in politics.
"Anyone who has watched the governor's political career knows that he is a superlative campaigner," said Tim Hudson, director of the Center for California Studies at California State University, Sacramento. "He both energizes and is energized by going out on the campaign trail."

As a Californian, I think he's done a fine job and would vote for him if he runs.
