Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, fresh from his victory with the passage of Proposition 14, spent Thursday hopping from one Washington, D.C., media outlet to another touting his success and his final year’s agenda.
The governor played coy with multiple media outlets about whether he would endorse GOP standard-bearer Meg Whitman to succeed him. He told the Washington Post that the person he will support "most likely will be Republican but not necessarily."
In an interview with NPR, Schwarzenegger spoke about the importance of the new two-top primary, which, like the recall election that vaulted him into the governorship, has all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, lumped into one electoral pool.
"That's how I got elected, because I appealed to Democrats and Republicans, independents ... everybody," Schwarzenegger said. "If there would have been no recall election, I wouldn't have been able to win, because I would not have been able to win a Republican primary because I'm too much in the center and I'm not that far to the right."

The way things stand now, he couldn’t win a general election, either.
I think Meg Wittman ran because she’s backed by Paypal and they want to control the courts with these paypal law suits. They want to make sure California does not regulate this payment service, this is the only reason why Meg Wittman ran!.
And that would have been terrible because he’s done such a great job?
No sh*t, Sherlock. He shouldn’t have been able to win once, much less twice. It is sad to say that leftist Schwarzenegger would be considered Republican anywhere in the Excited States of America at all. Now to see what Carly has up her HP-deposed sleeve...
Gov Shriver got that right. With Calif sinking in a sea of red ink the only job he’s qualified for is 0bama’s treasury department.
Der governator has no intention of supporting Whitman. And, the reason is simple.
If she succeeds, HE becomes a failure by comparison.
His girlyman ego can't take that.

“Meg Wittman”
It’s not Wittman - it’s Whitman. Fix your tagline.
Arnold is only in the center of California politics!
And what's your approval rating now, 23%? Congratulations, you're now despised equally across the political spectrum.
BS. He won because you LIED.
"If there would have been no recall election [in 2003, and changed the party rules to eliminate contenders from a 2006 primary], I wouldn't have been able to win, because I would not have been able to win a Republican primary because I'm too much in the center and I'm not that far to the right."
Right, left. It doesn't matter. He's a narcissistic megolomaniac with visions of a grand legacy and monuments built in his honor. He cared only about being "bold," being liked, and moving California toward some European-like utopia where pathetic global elitists think they need to rule over all the peasants. Good riddance.
Jaaa. The fix was in.. vetted by Buffett and a Rothschild and a nod from the Bilderbergs.. the Golden Goo$e was cooked.
Some primary that was..
