Bush Tries to Stay Out of California Recall Fray

[QuietStorm]

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush heads to California on Thursday with promises to stay out of the fray over the state's recall election to potentially replace the unpopular Democratic governor.

Bush is expected to keep his distance from actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Republican gubernatorial contenders during his two-day visit to the state, where he will meet with troops and raise money for his own re-election campaign.

Bush has confessed to being gripped by California's political drama, but pointedly questioned why it was getting more attention than the presidential race.

Instead, Bush will lunch with U.S. troops and, as he told reporters, do "a little spade work for the '04 campaign" at a San Diego fund-raiser.

Why would he have to meet with Arnold. It looks like he's a shoe in. Their work is done here. He can stand as far away from Arnold as he likes. All the last minute scrambling and bungling certainly is not going to have any big effect on Bush's parade. Is John Philip Souza in the house?
