This is also being reported on Fox. I don't think it is a rumor.

Well, we will see what happens. My guess is that to the pepople for whom this matters, they are mostly in the Simon or McClintock camp. The rest of the Arnold supporters won't care, because they don't even know who the guy is.

I must admit that this would cause me to look very closely at position papers on Arnold's economic policy. Fortunately, I don't have to make a decision about this, since I am not a Californian.

It is probably a very shrewd political move for Arnold, for this particular election. As for real impact on policy, just depends on if Buffett or Kudlow is more representative of his overall economic strategy. My hope is that this is more a marketing ploy, and perhaps an attempt to get a well-rounded cabinet of advisors(sorta the way Powell and Rumsfeld play off each other in Bush's WH). Will play very well to the moderates, independents, non-Kool Aid drinking Dems, Perot types, and the young/politically disinterested.
