Schwarzenegger to Bush: DROP DEAD
Schwarzenegger, Confident and Ready for Prime Time
By CHARLIE LeDUFF and JOHN M. BRODER

ACRAMENTO, June 23 — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has dazzled California with a string of legislative victories in his first months in office, has shown that he may well be a political master after all. And now he is letting President Bush know just how much he is — and is not — ready to devote his full star power to the national re-election effort.

Mr. Schwarzenegger, in an interview in the Bedouin-style smoking tent he has set up in the courtyard of the State Capitol here — smoking is banned in state buildings — made it clear that he expected a prominent role at the Republican National Convention in New York in late August.

"Whether I'm speaking, I'll leave that up to them," said Mr. Schwarzenegger, a global celebrity who has emerged as perhaps the most intriguing new Republican face of the political season. "If they're smart, they'll have me obviously in prime time."

But Mr. Schwarzenegger, who has been defining himself as a moderate, also made it clear that when prime time is over, he intends to keep some distance from Mr. Bush, who is not particularly popular in Democratic-leaning California.

4. Do you think if he loses his next election he will say "I'll be back"?
Bushes hate Hollywood type (Raygun & Nancy) they may not invite him.
Who knows and who cares.
