You gotta be shittin' me...... bush suck-ass mccain is actually campaigning for the "action figure" in Culeeforneeya. Sorry john, this LOSER ain't going to be much help when you make your run for the white house. How pathetic?
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - With his popularity at an all-time low, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger turned Monday to another political star - Sen. John McCain - to help sell his November ballot proposals to a skeptical public.

1. What you fail to see.
Is neither one of them loses a damn thing by helping each other. They just might gain a few votes and get a bit more media attention if they do tough.

2. LATimes
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has collected more than $76 million in contributions since running in the recall election two years ago, campaigned Monday with U.S. Sen. John McCain, who once called former Gov. Gray Davis' push to raise $26 million "disgraceful."

McCain appeared with the governor at campaign events in Burbank and Oakland, touting the initiatives that Schwarzenegger wants passed in the Nov. 8 special election. By bringing in a senator who built an identity challenging the status quo, Schwarzenegger was trying to stoke interest in the ballot measures, which have been trailing badly in public opinion polls.

At an afternoon appearance at the Oakland Airport Hilton before 200 invited guests from Bay Area Republican groups and local chambers of commerce, the Arizona senator said Schwarzenegger's ballot measures would rattle the political establishment.

"He's got principle. He's got determination and he's got guts to take on the special interests," McCain said.

3. the money shot
At a news conference at the Burbank Airport Hilton, the senator was questioned about Schwarzenegger's fundraising record.

A reporter reminded him of his comments in 2001, which had been circulated Monday by a Democratic operative, and asked why he had been "silent" about the Republican governor.

"I haven't been silent," McCain shot back.

Time to watch Arnold beat himself up.
