The following story appeared in the Sac Bee on January 20th. While I have not selected my choice for president and therefore do not have an Agenda regarding this post, I am disgusted with the head of my party in this state. He has proven not to be a man of his word. After announcing his pending endorsement of Senator McCain tonight can we trust him with anything he says?
Schwarzenegger declines to endorse a candidate

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Saturday he will not endorse a candidate in the state’s upcoming Feb. 5 presidential primary, dashing hopes of GOP contenders who could have used the celebrity governor’s help in the wide-open race.
After hinting for much of the past week he would not endorse in the race, the Republican governor confirmed his decision while standing next to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who laughed when a reporter suggested the governor was holding out to see if Bloomberg would pursue an independent run.
Schwarzenegger appeared with Bloomberg and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, at a Los Angeles freeway interchange to demand more federal attention to public works projects.
“I respect all of the candidates in the Republican lineup, and of course I have my preferences,” Schwarzenegger said. “I don’t get involved in that. I said I will not endorse anybody. I think it doesn’t help me any, it doesn’t help the state of California any, to go and endorse anybody.”

No time to pick on Arnold…hey,
when Rudy bailed…what was the
Governor to do? He could have
endorsed Bloomberg….when he
thought Rudy was going to win….
but…..”OH JAY LENO….you drive
this Austrian crazy! I don’t
know what a Mormon is….I’m a
European Catholic! And, what’s
a Huckabee?”
Dear Larry,
It’s called changing your mind. Most humans do it at least once or twice a year.
I am glad Arnold is endorsing McCain instead of Romney. Don’t forget that Romney is the Mike Schroeder candidate. Therefore I hope he loses.

Yes, we can change our minds.
I wonder if the people who voted for Arnold had the same opportunity to change their minds without another Recall election.
The smart answer to the Sac Bee reporter might have been the same as given by the president. I will support whomever our party chooses in the primary but will not endorse any candidate.
Seems as if he looked to see which way the wind was blowing before going public. To air that on the same night as the CNN debate surely hurts all of the other candidates. Why did he wait? Larry, aren’t you waiting to decide yourself? Yes, but I am not the governor thank you.
As I have stated numerous times, be it here and at our church, I have not decided whom I will vote for but I better get that Ballot in the mail soon.
