Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says his wife has been 'gloating' about Barack Obama's win.

(CNN) — Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that even though his party didn’t win the presidential election, he has at least one thing to be happy about.

“I can get back into the bedroom, so there's the big advantage,” the California governor said Sunday on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

Schwarzenegger, a leading Republican, is married to Maria Shriver, a member of the very Democratic Kennedy clan.

Shriver endorsed Barack Obama in February, just days after her husband announced his support of John McCain.

Schwarzenegger said his wife has been “gloating now for these last few days” and running around the house with a life-size cutout of Obama saying, “We won.”

Striking a more serious tone, Schwarzenegger said he doesn’t see how any incumbent party could have held onto power this year, given the economic situation and the housing crisis.

“I think no one knew that it's going to be that bad. I think the Republicans were trying to hold on to, you know, if it would have been just the housing crisis or the mortgage crisis. But then when the stock market crash came, I think it was just too much,” he said.

Looking to the future, Schwarzenegger said that Democrats and Republicans should come together and avoid getting stuck in ideology.

“Democrats and Republicans should do everything they can to help Obama and his administration to be successful, because when he is successful … then the nation is successful. And then the world is successful. So, we've all got to work together on this,” he said.

1. Arnold's and most Republicans' ideas of coming together is for

liberals to do what the Republicans want them to do. If this were not true he would not have vetoed the health care bill that passed both houses of the California legislature and was approved by 80% of Californians. No thanks terminator. I'm waiting for your and your party's ruining my state and my country gets terminated.

2. There is not one single member of that party that "gets it."

THEY did it. THEY ran the economy into the toilet. THEIR philosophy, THEIR tax policy, THEIR greed.

But no, just like Arnie says here, it's just coincidental. What a joke. They'll never understand.

3. Arnold needs to go to hell.

I know several people who are in jeopardy of losing their jobs or getting their salaries cut because of the budget. I'm tired of him, his wife, his Enron ties and everything else during the tenure of his gubernatorial run. He sickens me. But the bad thing is that this bozo is setting his sights on a Senatorial run.

I mean, he's just as bad as Pailn.

His beating up on Obama was the last straw.

I'm sorry that the prison guard union pulled their recall effort.

4. Maria's carrying around a cardboard cutout? How does he tell them apart?

They're both 6' tall and 1/4" thick.

5. Um, he's not 6 feet tall anymore, nor is he ...

... as "rigid as he used to be.

6. He never was. I meant Obama (who I think is actually a bit over.)

Ah-nold's like 5'10" max.
