Schwarzenegger shifts toward center LOS ANGELES TIMES Title: "Principles" Producer: Don Sipple The script: Schwarzenegger is pictured in the same cafeteria setting used in his last three TV commercials. Addressing what the campaign says are Schwarzenegger volunteers sitting around a lunch table, Schwarzenegger says: "My principles of leadership: progress over politics, bipartisanship always, and the will of the people is paramount. I will do the people's work, and I will take responsibility and be accountable to you."

Analysis: The ad would seem to represent an attempt to move back to the political center after a weekend spent at the California Republican Party convention, where Schwarzenegger emphasized his conservative bona fides. Schwarzenegger's appeals to the right have failed so far to force his more conservative rival, state Sen. Tom McClintock, from the race. The advertisement could indicate that Schwarzenegger plans to adopt a message emphasizing bipartisanship as the election nears. |
