Salon has an article by Tim Grieve today, well worth checking out, tracing the problems that President Bush's support of Arnold Schwarzenegger could bring to his upcoming election.
"The problem: While the White House is eager to back a winner in California -- and a Time/CNN poll released over the weekend has Schwarzenegger looking like one -- born-again Christian conservatives are mortified by the actor's liberal views on abortion and homosexuality and wary about allegations of drug use, infidelity and juvenile sexual antics. The Rev. Louis Sheldon, head of the ultra-right Traditional Values Coalition, warned in a statement last week of a "moral vacuum" in Sacramento. "It is hard to imagine a worse governor than Gray Davis," Sheldon said, "but Mr. Schwarzenegger would be it."
The whole article is worth checking out, although I think Mr. Grieve over emphasizes the possibility of more traditional conservatives acting on their frustration with President Bush.
