ABC News' Jake Tapper Reports: At 9:30 am Pacific Time, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. John McCain will tour Solar Integrated Technologies in on east Martin Luther King Jr. Bvld in Los Angeles, where Schwarzenegger will endorse McCain.

The McCain campaign had been talking to the governor's office for over a week about doing an event together in California to discuss environmental and economic issues. But it wasn't until he learned that former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani was definitely dropping ou .of the race that Schwarzenegger decided to endorse McCain.

A senior Schwarzenegger administration official says "the governor is close to both Giuliani and McCain. When Rudy dropped out it changed the playing field and cleared the way for an endorsement."

The Governor has no plans right now to raise money for McCain or campaign around the state with him, though it's likely that he will do so, especially since McCain has raised money and campaigned for him.

Gov. Schwarzenegger "has long supported and shared McCain's vision for protecting the environment, elimating wasteful spending, and fixing our broken immigration system," the official says.

That's right, and according to McCain and Arnold, it will bake us all alive because we drive SUVs and the only solution is the omnipotent and benevolent hand of government shutting down our economy (and thus our only hope for improved standards of living).

McCain is another Bush. McCain is not conservative but a career politician who has lost sight of his role as an elected politician.
McCain refuses to secure the borders, he will grant amnesty to millions of people who violated US law, he jeopardizes US sovereignty and existence, and he is part of the problem, not the solution.
Voting for McCain would be like voting for Clinton only in a suit as opposed to a dress. The only difference between McCain and Clinton is, McCain will blatantly tell you he will vote or be in favor of anti-US policy!
Look at the man’s political record, and it says it all. Look at his political speeches and he will tell you himself – he doesn’t care what the overwhelming populace wants, he does what he wants!
He is an admirable man for serving this country militarily, and brave at heart for lasting as a POW, but as a political leader in the current times he is not what the US needs now.

In the end big deal Arnie should go back to making movies anyway
