After taking a hands-off approach to Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign, President Bush is embracing California's next governor, hoping an alliance will win him the state's pile of electoral votes next year.

Bush heads to Republican-leaning inland California on Wednesday for a pair of fund-raisers that will bring in an additional $1.5 million, Republicans with White House ties said. He'll make appearances in Dinuba, Calif., the hometown of Lt. Gov.
