AP Rob Reiner to Stay Out of Calif. Gov Race

SAN FRANCISCO - Director Rob Reiner said Wednesday he won't run for governor in 2006, putting to rest rumors of a potential "Meathead vs. Terminator" showdown with Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"I've made a definite decision that it's not something I'm going to do," Reiner told The Associated Press.

Reiner, whose hit films include "When Harry Met Sally" and "A Few Good Men," said concerns about his family had persuaded him to stay out of the governor's race.

He also said he wants to focus his political energies on passing a ballot initiative establishing universal preschool for California children.

1. Enough of this Hollywood crap.

Except Al Franken. He is knows quite a bit about many different issues and does have a Harvard degree. Tho it might be in comedy. I do miss "The Oy Oy Oy show".

2. Thank you, Rob Reiner.

Thank you for considering running. And thank you for coming to the right decision of not running. All we need is a Hollywood vs Hollywood governor's race.

Note to Warren Beatty: Watch, listen, and learn from Reiner.
