Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California and onetime action film-hero and muscle-builder, campaigned for the reelection of Presdent Bush in 2004. We remember one big crowd in particular, when the Arnold filled an arena in Columbus, Ohio. The governor, who had played that town in his body-building days, told the crowd he had come to pump Bush up.
Today, with the former mayor of New York to his right and Sen. John McCain to his left -- and what's wrong with that picture? -- the governor was pumping up the campaign of the senator from Arizona in the biggest of all states to hold a primary election on Super Tuesday.

Another juicy quote from Peggy Noonan...
__________________________
The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan says that, "George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues."
__________________________
Remember that all you bu$hco apologistas. He broke it, and the republitards will pay in November. So next time you want to blame us loony lefties for some perceived slight, talk to Peg first. She will set you straight, you wide stanced, religion perverting, xenophobic, busheviks.

Romney is the man to save the economy and the republican party. Huckabee is out and it is between Romney and McCain. Romney can fix our economy and represent us well internationally. He was the winner in every debate. His optimism and family are an inspiration. McCain is an old angry man who thinks he is entitled to everything. Let's rally around Romney and knock out McCain.

Is that McCain's barbershop quartet behind Arnold being introduced to sing a rousing rendition of "Bomb Bomb Iran"? Maybe also an encore of "100 years in Iraq on the wall".

I agree with this.
Here is the dirty big secret that Dick Morris, the Democrats and liberal media do not want McCain and Huckabee supporters to understand until AFTER the Republican primary is over:
1. a vote for Huckabee at this point in the race is a vote for McCain. Huckabee cannot win the primary and is almost out of money.
2. a vote for McCain in the Primary is a vote for Obama or Clinton in the general election.
McCain cannot win the general election and McCain knows that without the base of the Republican party he, like Dole before him, will loose. The base will never support liberal McCain. Anyone voting on super Tuesday and beyond who is considering McCain or Huckabee needs to think long and hard about the impact of their vote. If you prefer President Obama or Clinton over Romney, then vote for McCain or Huckabee my friends.
ALL REPUBLICANS NEED TO FLOOD THE INTERNET WITH THIS MESSAGE, SHARE AND DEBATE IT WITH MCCAIN AND HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS AND TAKE BACK OUR PARTY………WE CAN WIN THE WHITEHOUSE IN ‘08!! GO MITT!!!!

JD, Romney is a joke. There's no way someone who supports abortion to get elected in Massachusetts and then changes his position to say he's against it to run nationally will ever get elected by the GOP.
John McCain is our leader now and he'll bring this party back the ideals of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. More importantly, he'll win the war on terror! You tell 'em, Arnie!

Jeff,
I think J.D. is not the same 'JD'. (?)

Were it my campaign I certainly would not want crash and burn Rudy on stage with me.

Would you rather have fat porker and William Jefferson fan Denny Hastert, lochness?
Hey Swamp, does this qualify as a Kennedy endorsement? Maria Shriver's parents were Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy. Eunice, you know, is the sister of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This is a Kennedy endorsement of McCain by marriage! I bet Maria's cousin Caroline and Uncle Ted are glad that they got all the coverage they did from their Kennedy endorsement. How about it, Swamp?
