WILL ARNOLD TERMINATE THE DEMOCRATIC LOCK ON CALIFORNIA ?<\/b><\/p>\n
From SFGate.com<\/p>\n
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, long mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for governor, told Esquire magazine for its July issue: “Yes, I would love to be governor of California … If the state needs me, and if there’s no one I think is better, then I will run.” <\/p>\n
With Democratic Gov. Gray Davis facing a recall campaign that could result in a special gubernatorial election as early as fall, Schwarzenegger’s political ambitions could be speeded up. <\/p>\n
But Schwarzenegger’s political adviser, George Gorton, said the statement did not represent a change in the Austrian-born actor’s thinking. <\/p>\n
“The bottom line fact is he hasn’t decided whether he’s going to run or not if the recall qualifies, and he’s so terribly busy right now,” Gorton said. <\/p>\n
He said Schwarzenegger, 55, would decide whether to run after the July 2 release of “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” and only if it becomes clear the recall will qualify for the ballot. Supporters need to collect nearly 900,000 valid signatures to make that happen.<\/b><\/p>\n
