Red Sox star pitches for Bush
By Times Online
October 29, 2004


John Kerry may have Springsteen and Streisand on his side, but he didn't get past first base with the star of his home town's World Series-winning baseball team.



The Democratic presidential candidate was still glowing yesterday in the Red Sox's first championship in 86 years when the team's pitcher Kurt Schilling revealed his political stripes and backed President Bush in next Tuesday's election.

Schilling, who ignored a painful ankle injury to lead the Red Sox to the title, signed off an ABC television interview with: "Make sure you tell everybody to vote, and vote Bush next week."

The Bush campaign also said that the 37-year-old right-hander would appear with the President today in the northeastern state of New Hampshire, a key battleground state.

With the presidential race neck-and-neck, both candidates are wheeling out the big-name celebrities in the final stretch.

President Bush will get some celebrity muscle today from Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former film star who is now Governor of California.

But Mr Schwarzenegger says he will hit the stumps only once alongside Mr Bush because he does not want to alienate Democratic voters back in California, or his own Democratic wife, Maria Shriver, a member of the Kennedy clan.

His support for the Bush campaign has already cost the former Mr Universe support in his native Austria. Residents of his home town of Graz are so angry with his support for Mr Bush that that they have decided to stop the construction of an 80-ft statue of him in a classic Terminator pose.

Angered by Mr Schwarzenegger's support for the war in Iraq, his fans are also asking local authorities to rename the town's Arnold Schwarzenegger football stadium.
