Arnold Schwarzenegger taking a first step towards a run for governor in 2006


Actor-turned-GOP activist Arnold Schwarzenegger is putting his high-wattage star power and money behind a ballot measure to fund after-school care, a commitment many think may be a first step toward a run for governor in 2006. The 55-year-old former Mr. Universe, who considered and then backed away from a gubernatorial run this year, is sponsoring Proposition 49, which would dedicate $550 million a year in state money to after-school programs for elementary and junior high schools.
