Schwarzenegger to Aid McClintock
* The governor-elect says he will speak at a fund-raiser for his recall rival's reelection bid.

By Daryl Kelley, Times Staff Writer

Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock, who refused to withdraw in favor of GOP front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger during the recall campaign, is now supported for reelection by the governor-elect and is essentially ceded another term by his chief Democratic rival.

In a gesture of unity, Schwarzenegger offered last week to speak at a fund-raiser for the veteran Thousand Oaks lawmaker, a spokesman for the new governor said Tuesday

Edit ...
" has pledged to bring our party together, and he's obviously very serious about doing so," McClintock said Tuesday. "And I intend to do everything I can to assist him in cutting spending and balancing the state budget without raising taxes."

Edit ...
McClintock, a conservative, said he has seen nothing so far from Schwarzenegger, a social moderate, that has caused him any concern.

"So far, so good," he said.

1. that's very big of Ahnuld to do this

I'm actually impressed but of course, is it all a fake sign of unity because the party already has someone to run against him

3. Who is running against him?

According to this article McClintock is unopposed.

>>McClintock said he was startled when Rep. David Dreier (R-San Dimas), a top Schwarzenegger transition-team advisor, dropped by his Senate office to offer the help of the governor-elect.

Edit ...

With Schwarzenegger's blessing and Jackson's withdrawal, McClintock now seems to have a smoother run through the March primary and perhaps the November general election.<<

2. Well Duh ...

Do you think Repukes elected Arnold because he is most qualified to fix the Bush/Enron mess in California ?

No. Cause that probably isn't going to happen.

He was elected to generate new Republican votes state wide. It is just more proof that making Arnold Governor is politically motivated, and most likely comes from Rove.

Truly disgusting.
