Former "West Wing" star Rob Lowe may get into politics for real -- as an advisor to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the dashing actor who played the White House deputy communications director Sam Seaborn on the NBC political drama, may join the campaign team.

Lowe is a longtime Democratic activist and friend of Schwarzenegger's and of his wife Maria Shriver.

Schwarzenegger is running for Calif. Governor on the Republican ticket. There are 135 other candidates, including has-been actor Gary Coleman, running in the Oct. 7 governor recall election.

Citing unnamed campaign sources, the Times says Schwarzenegger and Shriver, who is a member of the Kennedy clan, asked Lowe to take a senior campaign spot.

Bonnie Reiss, a strategist for Schwarzenegger's campaign who's also a Democrat, told the newspaper that she's met with Lowe. Campaign representative Karen Hanretty would say only that a formal announcement about the campaign team would be made in days to come.

But...but...he's a REPUBLICAN!!!

Just keep telling yourself that...

[Drango]

I only want to know where the REAL conservatives are?

We're here on FreeRepublic and we support Arnold. Deal with it.

Not only is Warren Buffet's favorite "charity" Planned Barrenhood to innocent babies what Adolph Hitler was to Jews [Warren has promised to leave his entire $Billion+ estate to Planned Barrenhood abortuaries] but he has also given Schwarzenkennedy his first economic advice.

Buffet has told Schwarzenkennedy that Proposition 13 MUST GO because property taxes are TOO LOW in California. Yes, sirree, that Schwarzenkennedy is a real scamp calling himself economically "conservative". All he wants to conserve and probably even muscle up is government's ability and "freedom" to financially farm productive Californians.

Oh well, at least the babies will be slaughtered and the survivors adopted by Californicate's new model "married" couple: Mr. Bruce and Mr. Lance who want to "share their love" with kiddies without a disparaging word from His Inevitability Airhead Ahhhhhnold, much less a one-way trip to the hoosegow. Isn't that what they call progress?

[ActionNewsBill]

This gets better everyday. Thanks for providing the laughs, California.

Yep....it's becoming a real freak show.

[BlackElk]

It doesn't bother you that Buffett is advising that Proposition 13 be scrapped to free governments's ability to pick your pocket far more widely? No problem with baby-killing? No problem with gay marriage and adoption o innocent kids? No problem with RINOs or CINOs? No problem with Riordan's involvement? Who are the real RINOs?

Let me repeat one more time: Buffett is telling RINO Schwarzenkennedy to GET RID OF PROPOSITION 13!!!!! Hellooooo in there, is anybody home?

So he hires a pretty face? Rob Lowe is a nice guy and wonderful actor and pretty thoughtful for a liberal - if you go strictly by his West Wing persona but I doubt he's hired for his policy knowledge. I think he's just another of Arnold's famous faces.

Hero-worship and starstruck celebrity fawning isn't exclusive to liberals, unfortunately.

Neither is the lure of winning at any price...

Guess who else donated ($2000) to this campaign?

[JohnnyZ]

Not only is Warren Buffet's favorite "charity" Planned Barrenhood

Not to mention his massive support for "Catholics for a Free Choice", an organization whose stated purpose is the destruction of the Catholic Church.

Cubreporter, catch a clue.

It would be interesting to find out who he voted for in Election 2000. I've read somewhere that he has not voted in the last 5 elections? Does anyone know this for a fact?

You refer to Schwarzenegger and not Lowe, I presume? The Schwarzenegger campaign said absentee ballots were requested for 4 of those elections, including two during the 2000 elections (primary and general), but the ballots were never recorded. They said they are looking into it---but it seems to me if someone requests the ballot (and there is a record they were in fact requested and sent) then they would fill out and mail it in. That raises the question of what happened to those ballots? How many absentee ballots get lost?

[Drango]

What bothers me is people violating Ronald Reagan's 11th commanment and speaking ill of anoter Republican.

Try to work for a Republican victory, rather than electing Bustamante.

[SierraWasp]

They are simply trying to implement "The Web of Inclusion" and it's not going to be acceptable to many here!!!

[goldstategop]

We're not speaking ill of Arnold the man; we have deep concerns about Arnold the politician. You can only your breath in for so long before what you inhale isn't what you were expecting. So far he's long on image and short on substance. Let's wait for the substance before we decide if he deserves our support in the voting booth.

[grania]

Remember, he likes 'em underage so make it 14-17 female demographic

Documentation? That's serious stuff to banter around.

[cyncooper]

We're not speaking ill of Arnold the man;

You'd be well advised to drop the "we" and speak for yourself.

There have been those who have called Schwarzenegger "clinton" and them's fightin' words.

[A2J]

Apparently Ahnuld doesn't realize that Lowe's "experience" in politics is limited to television.

Who else is he going to bring on, Ozzy Osbourne?

[Drango]

Documentation? That's serious stuff to banter around.

That's fairly easy to prove. He (Lowe)did the deed on tape, with an underaged girl. Convicted in a court of law and did community service. I'll let you do the google search.
