Steyer reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger. They're pretty much opposite sides of the same coin.

Both had "political epiphanies" that drove them use their wealth to climb to power.

I'm not saying Steyer would be bad for California, just not sure he's not just bought himself a new hobby rather than being serious about governing. I know Becerra's experience and background dealing with California Politics. It's not the same as making a business deal or pitching ideas at a event with the weight of your personal fortune and celebrity behind you.
We'll see how it shakes out. But I'm really nervous because California Democrats can be that cliquish that we could end up with faux Piers Morgan over party egos.

Luckily, CA has a two-term limit for Governer.
