California’s celebrity governor has thrown his muscle behind the McCain campaign. Despite the occasional pander, McCain still plays better with California’s moderates than Mitt Romney, who appears to have been embraced, if reluctantly, by the more conservative elements of his party.


New York Times:

Meanwhile, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has forged a moderate record and spoken out against partisanship in Washington, threw his political brawn behind Mr. McCain Thursday after the pair toured a solar energy company here. Calling him “a great American hero and an extraordinary leader,” Mr. Schwarzenegger emphasized Mr. McCain’s ability to work with both parties to accomplish objectives.

Saying that Mr. McCain would work both to protect the environment while encouraging economic growth, Mr. Schwarzenegger also referred to his military service, saying he had “incredible credentials on national security.”

Am I confused?  Doesn’t Arnold have relation, a grandfather or something who was in the Nazi SS.  Were those stories true?

I mean he’s endorsing “Bomb, bomb, bomb,.... bomb, bomb Iran.  Really, McCain must be wasted on Rush Limbaugh’s drug of choice.  He does the oddest things.  What is with that?

I give McCain that he endured some pretty hard things but…he’s different…..not in a good way.

I’ll be back!!  Again and again and again and…you know.  Like McCain says there are lots more War on the horizon.  But NO jobs. Big strapping guy that he is, just tells it like his Overlords say, no promise here folks, just plain old capitalist FU and the clueless thinks its ‘plain old thruthiness’.  I’m tired of the clueless, please let them go to the GD rapture already!

And Giuliani who can hardly contain his glee must know something nobody else does. Like maybe he’s the chosen VP?

Shades of decision maker/decider guy!
Grown ...

Please, someone wake me when this nightmare is over.

The Governator endorses Citizen McCain. He must not have Total Recall of McCain’s voting record or listened to any of the “debates”.
