Foes pump up
for fight vs. Arnold
By HELEN KENNEDY
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
Friday, August 8th, 2003
WASHINGTON - A swaggering Arnold Schwarzenegger was mobbed by screaming fans yesterday
as he began a campaign for governor that he - and Democrats - predict will quickly get ugly.

Ah-nold has given them plenty of ammunition during his years as a bodybuilder, businessman and
blockbuster actor. He has posed for nude photos, admitted taking steroids, smoked a joint on
camera and donated generously to the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies in a bid to
atone for his Nazi father's past.

Collecting the formal paperwork for his bid to wrest the statehouse from Gov. Gray Davis,
Schwarzenegger shrugged off questions about his lack of political experience, saying leadership is
more important.

"Everything I ever did, I showed great leadership," he said. "People said it could never be done,

2. This will sure get the Soccer Moms' votes...
"As we were rehearsing, I saw this toilet bowl. How many times do you get away with this - to take a woman, grab her upside down and bury her face in a toilet bowl? I wanted to have something floating in there."

Entertainment Weekly, 2003,
about a scene in 'Terminator 3'

VOTE NO ON THE RECALL AND VOTE FOR BUSTAMANTE!

3. Women, Latinos key...
I think that women can be turned off to this guy. We also need to get out the vote in communities of color---this is so important! In 2002, the whitest electorate turned out since 1994, which is the only reason Simon wasn't utterly crushed.
