When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Bush will do what it takes to retain the White House in 2004, and taking the California governorship was a big piece of the WH strategy. Repuglicans do not, of course admit they plan shenannigans during the election, but do admit that Schwarzenegger's election will aid them 'organizationally.'
And of course, they pooh-poohed the serious negatives this candidate has.
I would concede that bringing up these questions was motivated by political considerations. As a private citizen, he is doing realtively little harm. As governor, he could be a disaster to all who aren't part of the whiteboy club. So political motivation for raising the issues does NOT mean the accusers were incorrect.

Republicans have said for weeks that Mr. Schwarzenegger's victory would give Mr. Bush a strong organizational and fund-raising foundation in a traditionally Democratic state. -- NY Times 10-9-03

... White House advisers pronounced themselves elated with the election's outcome, and insisted that the accusations that Mr. Schwarzenegger had groped women were politically motivated.-- NY Times 10-9-03
