Whose Side is Arnold on, anyway?

All of the Republicans who flocked to ensure that Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California.....here's your reward:

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed John McCain's presidential run before his state's February primary, said Sunday he would consider accepting an energy-related cabinet position from Democrat Barack Obama if the offer were extended.

"I'm always ready to help in anyway I can," the California Republican told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, describing himself as a committed public servant. "I'd take his call now, and I'd take his call when he's president anytime."

The former box office star-turned-politician said he is through with his days acting and body building, and plans to travel the world promoting energy independence after leaving the governor's mansion, whether or not he joins the next administration.

That's a great reward to the GOP, to start to jockey for posts in a Democratic administration months before the Presidential election. I wouldn't even begrudge him for this if the election were over, but there is a long way to go between now and November 4th.

Having a Republican Governor of the nation's most populous state saying these things are, shall we say, not useful.
