California's far right campaigns against Schwarzenegger
http://www.advocate.com/new_news.asp?ID=10042&sd=10/02/03

As Arnold Schwarzenegger garners a growing number of endorsements from mainstream GOP organizations and gains momentum in the polls, California's far-right Christians, a key Republican voting block, are ramping up their opposition to his campaign, arguing that the actor--a so-called moderate who favors gay rights--is no different than Gov. Gray Davis. In what could be a test for control of the party, the antigay Traditional Values Coalition will begin airing a statewide one-minute TV spot Thursday, showing Schwarzenegger's face morphing into Davis's, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "The ultimate message is, there's no difference between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis, so what's the purpose of the recall?" said Lou Sheldon, head of the TVC's political action committee. "It reminds them to make a better choice."

1. so I have to ask: where is he getting support?
The left doesn't want him, the far right doesn't want him. Are there really that many idiots who will vote for him based on his (tacky) filmography? :wtf: :eyes: :cry:
