"I'm not telling you now what I would or would not consider," the governor said

I wonder if those search teams on the slopes of Mt. Hood this week would mind keeping a lookout for Arnold's NO TAXES INCREASES pledge.

Everyone else, please check your attics. If there are any old abandoned buildings in your neighborhood, you might have a look around those too.

Along with his testicles.

Dan, as a long-time Arnold critic do you think there's any truth to party-switching chatter? I find it hard to believe a GOP convention keynoter of just two years ago would even try to pull it off. What's he going to say as a rationale? The only entity that seems to have changed policy preferences since then is himself!

No surprise. His true colors are just starting to flourish.

From one of Schwarzenegger's biographers, Joe Mathews (article here):

When Pete Wilson's right hand, Bob White, came to visit him on the set of "End of Days" in 1999, Schwarzenegger was cool to White's idea that he enter politics and revive the state GOP. The star instead complained about the party's support for the impeachment of President Clinton. Two years later, Schwarzenegger's political consultants sat him down in front of a camera and asked him to state his views on issues. He railed against partisan politics and laid out his plan for expanding healthcare coverage. After focus groups complained that the plan sounded like something Hillary Rodham Clinton would embrace, he dropped the idea.

Why is it, that a liberal's "open mind"

always seems to require a conservative's "open wallet"?
