Arnold Schwarzenegger has backed off making a big announcement on late-night TV, possibly a reaction to criticism that he was mixing politics and showbiz a little too closely.
"Arnold will make a statement concerning his decision whether to run in the California recall election on Wednesday, August 6th. Schwarzenegger's announcement will be followed with an appearance on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,' where he will elaborate on his decision," his office said in a statement released yesterday.
Should he run, the actor would join as many as 200 other candidates in the California race to replace Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, should he be recalled.
