Hugh Hewitt wrote in 2003:
Schwarzenegger does great things for the re-election of George W. Bush by immediately putting California into in '04 when Schwarzenegger is sworn in as governor, and Schwarzenegger helps the likely GOP Senate nominee against Barbara Boxer – the conservative Tony Strickland. So Schwarzenegger is closer to Pataki than Reagan, so what? It is a huge advantage to have an ally in the statehouse. The choice to think about with '04 in mind is not Schwarzenegger vs. McClintock or Simon, it is Schwarzenegger vs. Cruz.

The GOP benefits as a whole. Imagine you are Jim DeMint, likely nominee of the GOP for the open U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina, or Lisa Murkowski, incumbent GOP senator in Alaska. Wouldn't it be great to call the Bush people and ask for and get Schwarzenegger to drop into your state for a little fundraiser at $1,000 a head? This is what Bill Clinton does 24x7x365. Schwarzenegger would be a hyperdraw on the fundraising circuit, a crucial component of politics, exceeded only by the president and the vice president. Three such draws is better than two.

Thanks for the post.

Hewitt is one of the biggest brown nosers in the punditry business. I’m convinced he’s no conservative, but not fully ready to label him a RINO. Just a RINO enabler.

When you look up the word “turncoat” in the dictionary,
you will find a picture of HH.

And of course I’ve posted on FR more times than I want to remember the picture of RINold...from the rear. LOL

the sad part of it all is that after three more years of RINOld; it is going to be pretty difficult for some time to get another Republican elected governor of CA. If Pete Wilson was a joke, RINOld has been an incompetent buffoon.
Well I won’t say “I told ya so.”
