"Schwarzenegger Sours on Bush Craig Crawford looks at the latest twist in the relationship between President Bush and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R). "Both men are now fighting for their own political survival, and each is discovering that he is best served by ignoring the other. The governor’s liberal views on abortion and gay rights hamper the president’s efforts to hold his conservative base together." "Bush is so unpopular here that it wasn’t enough for Schwarzenegger to simply avoid being seen with him. The state GOP spokeswoman, Karen Hanretty, went out of her way to trash the president on the eve of his visit last month, saying that 'unless President Bush is coming to California to hand over a check from the federal government to help us with the financial challenges we face, the visit seems ill-timed.'” When Democrats took to the airwaves recently to compare the two politicians, Schwarzenegger "countered with a political play that could be quite telling for the 2008 presidential campaign. He reached out to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). It seems that the man who lost the 2000 nomination to Bush is now the better photo opportunity."
