Incumbent Republican [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] is prohibited from seeking reelection because of term-limits. Schwarzenegger was elected in 2003 after a recall of Governor [[Gray Davis]] and reelected in a landslide in 2006. However, Schwarzenegger's popularity, along with the Democratic assembly, have fallen since the California budget crisis. Democratic candidates include [[San Francisco]] Mayor [[Gavin Newsom]] and state Attorney General and former Governor [[Jerry Brown]]. Additionally, Democrats are waiting if senior Senator [[Dianne Feinstein]] runs. On the Republican side, businesswoman [[Meg Whitman]] has announced her candidacy, and could easily self-finance her campaign. State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and former Congressman Tom Campbell have formed exploratory committees.
