California Special election Watch: Bulworth Attacks Schwarzenegger in Radio Ads

Holywood.com has Beatty Attacks Schwarzenegger in Radio Broadcast

Warren Beatty has stepped up his battle with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger by recording a radio broadcast aimed at derailing his re-election campaign.

The political advertisement begins airing in San Francisco and southern California today, and features the Dick Tracy star urging citizens to vote against the celebrity politician.

Actually the campaign piece is for the California Special Election, November 8th and against Arnold’s California Recovery Team and Propositions 74, 75, 76 and 77.

Beatty’s radio campaign comes just days ahead of a unique referendum on Nov. 8 which will see voters deciding whether or not to adopt some of the Republican governor’s more controversial plans—which include rating teachers by their performance.

In the broadcast Beatty says, “Schwarzenegger and his big-money backers are counting on you to not get out and vote. Don’t give him more power. Let’s stand up for our state.”

Charles Idelsono, of the California Nurses Association, which is funding the ad, says, “We don’t want apathy to be the deciding factor in the election. It’s not enough to just disagree with the governor, people have to get out and vote ‘No’.”

While reports have suggested Democrat Beatty would relish Schwarzenegger’s position, Beatty denies harboring political aspirations.

Hummmmm does the California Nurses Association tracking polls find there is a problem with vote suppression and turn-out?
