Schwarzenegger Faces GOP Revolt

With "segments" of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R) "political base rising in revolt, directors of the California Republican Party have demanded a private meeting with the governor to complain about the hiring of a Democratic operative as his chief of staff," the Los Angeles Times reports.

Republican operatives say "grass-roots volunteers were so disturbed by the appointment that they were threatening to abandon Schwarzenegger during his reelection bid next year. Others said Schwarzenegger was risking a nasty fight that could cause the party to rescind its endorsement of him during February's convention in San Jose."

Most interesting development: "There is even a movement to draft Mel Gibson, the actor and director, to run against Schwarzenegger in the Republican primary next year -- in part because the success of Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ, could help his chances among religious conservatives."
