(08-13) 12:19 PDT LOS ANGELES (AP) --

Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired Warren Buffett as his senior financial and economic adviser, his campaign announced Wednesday.

Buffett is a billionaire investor legendary for his financial prowess. The chairman of Berkshire Hathaway is also a Democrat.

"What he will be doing is assembling other prominent business leaders and economists and setting up a team to address the issues facing California," said Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean Walsh.

"I have known Arnold for years and know he'll be a great governor. It is critical to the rest of the nation that California's economic crisis be solved, and I think Arnold will get that job done," Buffett said in a statement.

Buying at low prices into well-known, solid companies, Buffett built Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire into a huge conglomerate with a market value of more than $80 billion that owns insurance, restaurant, furniture and shoe companies. Buffett generally avoids high-tech companies, arguing he cannot tell which will be usurped by advances in technology.

Buffett is window dressing. Let me know when Aunold presents a platform and/or solutions to the problems in Sacramento. Finally, we want DEBATES, Aunold. You can run for governor but you can't hide behind Pete Wilson, Warren Buffett and Maria! Aunold is "pro-gun control, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual adoption, pro-social programs" What's the difference in Aunold and Bubba besides party affiliation? Only 55 days 'til we DUMP DAVIS and we still don't know what Aunold's platform is! Vote 4 MCCLINTOCK or pay the consequences! http://www.tommcclintock.com

Ok, you have me there. Now a question to you.

Who would you rather have as Governor of California, Bustamante or Arnold(the two leading candidates in the Oct. 7th election).

And no fudging, it is straight forward question, that devesres a straight forward answer.
