This just in: Erstwhile politico Clint Eastwood likes Arnold, likes Peter, voted for Gray and is intrigued by Cruz.

Oh, and he's anti-recall, ``that's for sure.''

The actor who made his bones as rogue cop Dirty Harry said Thursday he's neutral -- at least so far. ``I'd like to know more about what's going on,'' he said, ``know more about what people are thinking.''

The soft-spoken, good-humored Eastwood -- a Republican and one-term Carmel mayor -- is in a recall quandary that underscores what a small town the nation's most populous state can be.

Knight Ridder & BayArea.com suck... :-)

Clint is a Davi$ fan from way back, sad to say.

No, I didn't think he was a conservative...but sheesh, voting for and supporting Gray Davis? Guess he doesn't wear the pants in his family.

It is disappointing to learn that Rob Lowe is probably more conservative than Clint Eastwood.

In the first movie, "Dirty Harry", I believe he used a Model 57 .41 Magnum. For some reason they couldn't find a .44.
