San Francisco, Nov. 8 (Reuters): California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger won re-election by a landslide after distancing himself from fellow Republican President George W. Bush and taking a moderate stance, results today showed.

The former Hollywood star beat his Democratic opponent, state treasurer Phil Angelides, by 17 points with 99.6 per cent of yesterday’s vote counted. “What a fantastic evening; I love doing sequels,” Schwarzenegger told supporters in Beverly Hills. “But this without any doubt is my favourite sequel.”
