AN DIEGO (AP) -- Gubernatorial front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he has "behaved badly" to women and offered an apology Thursday.

Schwarzenegger's remarks, as he kicked off a four-day bus tour of the state in the final days of the recall campaign, came after a Los Angeles Times story published Thursday in which six women accused him of sexually harassing and groping them.

"Nobody will care, Arnold will still win. "

As he should. His honesty is refreshing. The voters will like that....

[Nonstatist]

No, it's brilliant.

Like heck it is. Once you "admit" to something, more outrageous charges follow and any denial of those seems disingenuous. Where theres smoke theres fire. The media takes no prisoners

... I think hes screwed

You conspiracy theorists are wearying. Your thread was not moved from breaking.

In case you haven't noticed, we have been having some system problems this morning. I am not sure if I wanted to move it from breaking that I could at this point.

As for why it isn't showing up in breaking, in case you haven't noticed, we have been having some system problems this morning. If you look at the topics this thread is listed in on this thread, you will see it is in breaking, extended, and frontpage.

While I am on it, I thought I would share with you that the way the sidebars work, an article will never show up in more than one sidebar, so cross posting it to extended and frontpage does nothing, so you might as well not do that in the future. Thanks, AM

Let's keep the Dem's on the run!

It wasn't.

Um, yes it was, until I added it back.

Where are all of the Kool-aide drinking Schwarzen-god worshipers today? I'd like to see how they spin/rationalize this. I need a good laugh today.

Correction- republicanwizard's thread. I mistakenly thought you posted it since you were complaining/trying to blame us. I apologize for getting that wrong. Thanks, AM

Conspiracy theorist? The problems occuring today appear to me to be web server problems, not database problems. And I definitely saw "Breaking News" disappear from the Topics list for at least a few minutes, until after Sir Gawain pointed it out.

Perhaps a different Admin Moderator removed it, then decided to put it back in?

[68 grunt]

I'm right here, still supporting Arnie and saying this is nothing. Arnie is laughing it off, and you should join him in this laugh.

[SunStar]

That is why on the poll I say STILL WITH McCLINTOCK!

Yep. He's the conservative, pro-family values candidate in the race. I voted absentee two weeks ago.

[Admin Moderator]

Um, no it wasn't moved out of breaking. It may have come out of breaking, but not by my intervention. In case you haven't noticed, we have been having some system problems this morning.

(Re Walsh)

You're making a fair case that Sean Walsh is too far off of Arnold's wavelength to be his spokesdude. But this is still mountain/molehill territory -- the two men's disconnent, I mean, not the harassment story. (THAT isn't a molehill, but it's also old non-news.)

[MattGarrett]

And yet again, the Tomakazi's are the willing ploys of Bob Mulholland.

[ladyinred]

Wow What everyone including the media is leaving out however, is that at the beginning of the statement he did say some of this is not true, they are only using the soundbite where he says he has behaved badly in the past.

[pogo101]

Because ... uh ... because the Admin Moderator is one of those country club Republicans who's out to hurt McClintock! Yeah! That's the ticket.

[Admin Moderator]

All I see in the log is where someone changed the title from a made up one to the article's correct title. It is possible that when getting the 505 error and hitting the back button and then submit again that some field data vanished. I have seen that before. Thanks, AM

[zbigreddogz]

Yah, this is a total non story. I think it will backfire on the Davis slime machine.

This graphic has been post many times before on the FR, the day it is proven to be true it is removed? What is up with that?

[Lijahsbubbe]

Just like the Times article, Arnold's "honesty" is political. He admitted nothing specific. He denied nothing. He's doing damage control.

[republicanwizard]

To hell with McClintock and his supporters. I don't care what they think. I don't care what their candidate thinks.

I can't believe one of the Tomakazis put a picture of Aaron's bull on this thread and called that Schwarzenegger. That makes McClintock Moses?
