Did Arianna Huffington puposely crash Arnold's filing

[jiacinto]

I just noticed Arnold filing for the race. I also saw Arianna there. Did she purposely come there to crash Arnold's media moment? Or was she there to file because she came at that point? Did she know that Arnold would be there? What do you all make of that?

Did Arianna purposely come to crash Arnold's moment? Would she do that?

[Clete]

1. Yes, she would do that.

Arianna can be very bitchy. I love it though.

[glarius]

8. When she hugged Maria I wonder if she said "I'LL BE BACK" /LOL

If Arnold has all these liberal positions on so many things and he's also married to a Democrat...WHY IS HE A REPUBLICAN?....Maybe I don't understand the politics of it or something, but it seems strange to me.

[redeye]

14. I think he's a hawk...

...plus, he's pretty conservative fiscally. But then again, my image of him as a hawk mostly comes from his movie career consisting almost entirely of action heroes with more strength than intelligence.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Yes she did!!!

and GOD BLESS HER!!! She took the spot light off him for a moment!!! HAHAHA!!!!!!! Now she gets her name known too!

[jiacinto]

4. I was wondering if it was intentional

She was very cordial and hugged Maria Shriver, though.

[MattNC]

3. probably so

but it's open hunting season now.

[realFedUp]

5. I didn't see her.

Could be they were filing in the same building
everyone else does in SoCal....don't think Arnold
has a monopoly on press, crowds or filing for
a recall.

[jiacinto]

6. She was on CNN

She hugged Maria Shriver and was cordial to Arnold.

9. You go girl!

Gotta love it! I hope she can pull off the upset. I don't think I can stand even 5 seconds of Gov. Ahhhnold. :puke:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

12. Slogan for...

Ahhhnold :puke:


Vote for Arnold the Asshole!

[Andy_Stephenson]

19. or...

Conan...the Republican :puke:

[bpilgrim]

7. where you been?

and i thought you were a ps major and all :shrug:

perfect timming and perfect voice to help get the truth out there today since our current leadership APPARENTLLY - and remember PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING - aren't up to the task, think DLC

go ARRIANNA :bounce:

:hi:

peace

[roughsatori]

10. I hope she did it on purpose

Co-opting publicity will be important in the world of 24/7 Arnold coverage and worship.

[kentuck]

11. She cracked me up !

She says there is absolutely too much money being spent on campaign...then in a most serious tone, she says she is not going to spend over $10 million on this campaign! Just $10 million? :)

[maggrwaggr]

13. there was such a long line of people filing

If the camera had tilted down you would have seen Gary Coleman there too.

Another california traffic jam, people filing to be governor

[Terwilliger]

16. LOL

n/t

[Woodstock]

25. No Julia Roberts?

What a farce.

[Clete]

15. So Carlos, since you seem to have your nose

and ears to the ground on all of this, has Schwartzy put up a website yet, or does he have an address for his campaign we can send mail to?
I certainly think all of us Californians should write him and tell him that we are not happy with his running. I don't mean anything threatening, but real letters to let him know what other Californians other than his cheering section think of him and our suspicions as to whom we think are backing him.

[jiacinto]

17. No not yet

nt

I take that back.

28. Hi deandem215!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[dansolo]

20. I thought Arnold decide to run in response to Arianna

Arianna Huffington was the first legitimate progressive candidate to announce her intention to run. Arnold's decision immediately followed. My feeling is that Rove felt that when everyone running was a Republican, it didn't matter how conservative they were, but once she joined, they needed to find someone that could appeal to the moderates in California.

22. All I say is ....

Good for her!!! About time somone crashed the media lovefest with that celluloid jackboot!!

[chillwindblowing]

24. adrianna

You said it better than I could have. thank you

[newyawker99]

29. Hi chillwindblowing!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[shance]

26. I have to agree as well***

KARL GEORGE AND ARNIE TERMINATOR CANNOT BUY CALIFORNIA.

WE ARE NOT FOR SALE...

[Woodstock]

27. Go Arianna, if I was in CA I'd vote for you

but against the recall

[Vap Noose]

30. so

neither of them matters.

[CWebster]

31. Should Arianna gain steam in this field of losers...

It would be the ultimate just rewards for all the sleazy players--D and R alike, that seek to grab the reins.
