#1 The LA Times will say that they were confirming details up to the last minute, but went to press finally, because if Arnold had lost their investment would in creating the story would have had no value after the election.

Looks like a case where Arnold should sue for libel and use the right of discovery in the civil suit to find E-mail that implicate that the paper held the story for political reasons. This discovery would have no bearing on the suit but could lead to some interesting "blood in the water" activity.

#2 I heard last night that another 'two' allegations were leveled at Arnold by LA Times and Arnold's team revealed that one of them had a long history of arrests for prositution.

Is this true?

If it is it leads me to beleave that Gray's team is hiring hookers to make these claims......

#3 Truth is most of the allegations were made by Premier Magazine two years ago when Arnold was considering a run for Governor. Davis leaked the info to the magazine back then to get Arnold out of the race. Even if the Dems had nothing to do with the latest leak they are still semi-responsible.

Unfortunately for them the fact that the people of California had 2 years to digest the groping charges pretty much nullifies their affect on the decision making process when the charges reappear. The pro-Arnold polls went up because people saw the sleazy tactic for what it was.

I hadn't heard the prostitution line, sounds unlikely. One of the two was married to Arnold's major competitor in the Mr. Olympia competitions back in the late 70s. This is the same competitor that came out with racist misquotes about Arnold a month ago. She was in the gym wearing a loose shirt and no bra so they could see her breast through the armhole. Arnold reached in and copped a feel in front of the other body builders. If he groped her it was to psyche his competitor out, not that that makes it right, but it makes it very possible since Arnold was known for defeating his competition mentally before the matches. That's why Arnold apologized for some of the things that sounded like him.

#4 It was bad enough when the waitresses at Hooters started suing for sexual harassment. When the prostitutes start outting the gropers, where will we be?

#5 Yank and Crazy, the rap sheet is true for the latest 'tear jerker' to come forward. Also the accusation of 'unwanted' touching seem to fall apart after a make-up artist tells the story of who was teasing who. To recap the three people that are identified: One works for the CAL DNC chairman, one works for a Union, and the third is a liar and a criminal with a LONG rap sheet (including prostituion). Drudge had a link to the rap sheet yesterday but it's gone today.

#6 here it is: KFI's John and Ken were all over it yesterday before 6PM, but the LA Times printed it as fact that she and Allred were the 16th gropee

#7 I think the sleazier thing was the Nazi smear. The Jews in Arnold's home town have a different story to tell about him. Frankly I don't know much about Davis except that he bores me to death when I see him on television.
As for the groping: Jeez, this guy worked with hundreds or thousands of women. I couldn't recall whether I accidently touched a female bum 20 years ago or not so I would not deny it just in case...
That's just pathetic.
I wouldn't know whether Arnold is qualified for that job. But if I get my Californian friends right, he just can't be worse than Davis. So good luck to him!
And it was Ronald Reagan who found out the only way how to defeat the Soviets without making the Earth a place for cockroaches only...
Who knows what Arnie might come up with?

#8 I don't know if Arnold is qualified to run California, but it's pretty obvious The Gray Davis isn't.

If I lived there, I wouldn't have to spend much time deciding how to vote.

#9 What IS this fascination California has with electing bad actors to the governors' office? At least Ronnie had Nancy to run the state (and country for him). I'm less enthused about Arnie's squeeze doing the job, since it's unlikely A.S. (his middle initial doesn't happen to be "S", does it) has a clue.

#10 Mr Mercutio

I saw the same line when Reagan was elected "if at least it had been a good actor like Brando" and I
think it is quite simply despicable. The qualities of actor of Reagan or Schwarzenger are about as relevant than their talent at making apple pie. And for Nancy being the real president
I suggest you read less novels.

#11 JFM - quite so. I voted for Arnold today, and if he fails - I'll take the abuse, but we need a shakeup in CA and he's strong-willed and smart enough to do it. I expect the Dem legislature (both houses) to oppose him at every oportunity until he takes it over their heads to the people...watch next year

#12 Frank, I am on my way to vote for Arnold. As for the state house opposing him I have three words: Line Item Veto. Ronnie used it often.

#13 Just tuned in Brit Hume. His panel had Arnold's postive/negative rating among women as 40% to 49% which is better than Bustamante. The analysts were saying that the late smear seemed to have moved McClintock voters into Arnold's camp. Evidently, everyone expected Davis to go negative in the last minute and when the sexual harassment story broke everone assumed that David was responsible. Even those who beleive that Arnold is a RINO (Republican in Name Only,) are willing to except a liberal groper to put the wooden stake through Dais' heart.

Better empty a clip of silver slugs into his ass just to be sure.

#14 Any logical thinking person knows what the L.A. Slimes & the Californian dem-o-rats are trying to pull here. There's such a thing as a statute of limitations. Plus, if theses girls were so damn offended why didn't they sue the multi-million dollar actor years ago?? Shit, for a hundred thousand he can slap my ass to.....Stupid wenches.
