Arnold Schwarzenegger will not support a Democrat. He never has since he became Governor, and he never will. He said he could support Dianne Feinstein for Senate in 2006, and didn’t. He said he could support Jerry Brown for Attorney General in 2006, and didn’t. He markets an image of post-partisanship that the national media swallows whole. Republicans hate him, because they believe that crap, but Democrats are too smart to buy it, so they hate him too.
Please stop this.
Thanks.
Enough of this garbage. It’s seriously long past time that we stopped with this frame of him being above it all. He’s right there in the muck, and he can’t be seperated from it.
Did you see Gavin N. on Rachel Maddow’s show? He spoke of Arnold in glowing terms, said he had some disagreements with him (without naming any) but talking about how much sense he has, how much better than the legislative Republicans he is, suggesting that his alleged post-partisanship is a model that Newsom would follow.
I was shocked to see a NOVA special on his stellar environmental record (mainly it had to do with energy and climate change).
Most of the country thinks of him as a decent, moderate, post-partisan fellow. He’s a much better actor now than he was in the 1980s.
Arnold never was and never will be a true Republican (just ask any member of the California Republican Party). It is just as obvious that he is not a Democrat. He is a celebrity and brings no more and no less than any celebrity might:plenty of ego, little experience or guiding ideology and a poll-driven agenda.
Now we know what it would be like to have Britney Spears as Governor.
