Oh, good grief, Arnold. Haven't you embarassed the GOP enough already? Just make like "Benedict" Arlen Spector and join the Democrat Party.
To be fair (something Liberals never are) I think Arnold has been henpecked by his ultra-liberal wife and brainwashed by his ultra-liberal in-laws (the Kennedy bunch). I think Arnold is actually more Conservative inside than he lets on.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: my future as a green activist
Activist/Film star turned California governor prepares to leave office and become a global champion in war against climate change
• Schwarzenegger demands action at final climate summit
Thursday 18 November 2010 17.01
It's very nearly a wrap for Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose career as governor of California will come sputtering to an end in January with his approval rating in the 20s, the state budget shortfall at $25bn (£16bn), and unemployment at nearly 13%. But, like the action heroes he has so often played, the man they called the governator is already working on a comeback.
In what is likely his last performance on a world stage as governor, Schwarzenegger this week launched the R20 climate network, an alliance of regional leaders who have pledged to work together to fight climate change. Schwarzenegger is the "founding father" of the new venture, a self-appointed global champion in the war against climate change.
Backstage at the performance hall at the University of California, Davis, Schwarzenegger is moments away from revealing to the Guardian the formula that will jolt the world's jaded and divided populace from their dangerous inertia in the face of great peril. First, though, there is the basket of muffins laid out in his backstage dressing room. "This is where the action is. Right here," he says, grabbing one.
How will he approach the fight against climate change? "I always was a big believer in doing things on a global level," he said. "Everything I have ever done, I always was interested in doing it globally – if it was the fitness, if it was the bodybuilding, if it was entertainment and acting and showbusiness."
