LOS ANGELES -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will be baaack.

The bodybuilder-turned-action-star-turned-politician coasted to an easy victory over Democrat Phil Angelides on Tuesday, completing a comeback from a disastrous bid a year ago to realign political power in Sacramento.

Schwarzenegger admitted his mistakes and changed course. Aided by a rolling state economy, his campaign won back Democratic and independent support by blending Reaganesque optimism with a return to the middle-ground politics that helped propel him to office amid the historic recall of Gov. Gray Davis in 2003.

"I love doing sequels," Schwarzenegger said at a victory rally in Beverly Hills where he was showered with confetti. "This without any doubt is my favorite sequel."
