“This election was called by Schwarzenegger, and it is a referendum on Schwarzenegger.”
Bob Mulholland
“This Halloween the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.”
Conan O'Brien
“Schwarzenegger is clearly annoyed as he asked that the president not come until after the election because he did not want to compete for cash.”
Sherry Bebitch Jeffe
“He's now not seen as the same Schwarzenegger who won the recall (election) and was so successful last year. He is either seen as a partisan, or insensitive about ordinary people.”
Elizabeth Garrett
“Schwarzenegger, like Brown and Wilson, could certainly make a comeback and be re-elected.”
Tim Hodson
“Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.”
Howard Dean
“President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger. Of course, he can't pronounce Schwarzenegger.”
David Letterman
