OH-Init: Scwarzenegger versus GOP by kos Thu Nov 03, 2005 at 09:48:52 AM PDT Funny. The Terminator's decision to throw his support behind a redistricting ballot measure in Ohio is giving Buckeye State Republican Congressmen heartburn. The Ohio redistricting measure (state Issue 4) is similar to proposition 77 in California, so the Terminator is backing it. (If approved, the California measure is expected to help Republicans. In Ohio, that state's redistricting measure would help Democrats. Ohio Republicans estimate they could lose between four to six seats if state Issue 4 is passed). One Ohio Congressman, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he understands that Schwarzenegger is "trying to save his own political hide, but he is doing it at our expense." Ohio Republicans are so angry about the Terminator "meddling" in their state that the issue has been discussed at private meetings in the Capitol and prompted them to enlist the aid of House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois). Hastert confirmed to the Grind that he had spoken to Schwarzenegger "a couple of times" about the issue, before the California governor officially endorsed the Ohio proposal on Oct. 19. Poor Arnold. Everyone hates him. McCain cut an ad in favor of Prop 77 in California. Will he be consistent and campaign in favor of redistricting in Ohio as well? (I won't hold my breath.)
