Missing wife undermines Governator
Sunday Times
John Harlow, Los Angeles



IF Arnold Schwarzenegger’s extraordinary political career implodes at a “special election” to be held in California this week, pollsters already know who to blame — his wife and former number one cheerleader, Maria Shriver.

When the Hollywood action star was elected “Governator” two years ago, pundits credited Shriver with not only masterminding his campaign behind the scenes, but also helping him win over female voters.

Shriver, an independent-minded television reporter and mother of the couple’s four children, made it clear she was unhappy her husband was running for office, but promised to stand by him “through thick and thin, left and right”.

Yet during the current campaign Shriver, a niece of the late president John F Kennedy, has stayed out of the limelight. She will be celebrating her 50th birthday today in the couple’s Los Angeles estate with her Democrat family, who do not approve of her Republican husband’s latest political gamble.

I say that because you are home with your "Democratic family".

What, did you think arnie would govern moderately, did you not think power would corrupt him? How well did you know him?

3. Her mother had a stroke
I am sure that she wants to be with her. Would you like to be married to that piece of trash?

2. Maria understands the game
She helped him get elected, but she can't help him govern. And the Governator is no better at that than any other Repuke is.
