The Republican nominee
All those GOP endorsments Arnold piled up last month didn't seem to be doing him much good at the time, and even prompted questions in this space about whether they might be counterproductive by raising McClintock's folk-hero profile. But now that Arnold is coming under fire as an alleged serial groper, the blessings from party pooh-bahs and fellow Republican pols are coming in very handy. Essentially, Arnold is the de facto Republican nominee, and not only are his backers rallying around him, the party is coming to his side. Early reports are that after the first round of allegations surfaced Thursday Schwarzenegger actually went up a bit in the tracking polls, largely on the strength of increasing support from Republicans. The same was evident at his rallies, where the crowds are growing and reporters are finding his supporters enraged at the media for, in their view, trying to tear him down. Not to say that more stories from more gropees in the days ahead couldn't turn that around. But on Day One Schwarzenegger seemed bouyed by his new-found friends in the Republican establishment.
