Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to formally endorse his "great friend" U.S. Sen. John McCain during a press conference at the Port of Los Angeles this morning, but the Republican governor certainly added a political boost to the Arizona senator if he decides to run for president.
When a reporter asked if today's event - with a dramatic backdrop of ships unloading and an environmental theme - was an edge toward endorsing McCain, the senator jumped in and joked: "I think it's the endorsement, yes."
