gubernator 

A ruler or governor. From the Latin gubernatus.
Also, the helmsman or pilot of a boat.

This is a word from Roman times and was NOT coined for Schwarzenegger.
An example appears in a 19th century poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, "Contentment" -

I'm very sure I should not care
To fill our Gubernator's chair.

gubernatorial

Of, or referring to a governor. This word is exceptionally weird, because it should be governorial or something. Like, when we elect a President, it's called a Presidential election, NOT a Presibentorial election.
"It's funny the way Arnold Schwartzneggar pronounces gubernatorial."
