Spot-On

The Sacramento Bee’s Dan Weintraub is well on his way to becoming the Lou Cannon of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political career. Here’s a very good and in-depth interview he did with Gov. Terminator. Very interesting, particularly the part where our nominally Republican governor talks about being more of a centrist than a conservative.

UPDATE:Whattayaknow, Lou Cannon himself takes a turn at appraising Schwarzenegger in today's New York Times and notes that the current governor is not, actor stereotypes aside, Ron Reagan. There's nothing too revealing (for you regular readers) but Cannon lets Sen. John Burton make a good point about Schwarzenegger's Hollywood-honed negotiating skills.
