The ASSociated Press has Reiner to Stay Out of California Gov Race

Director Rob Reiner said Wednesday he won’t run for California governor in 2006, putting to rest rumors of a potential “Meathead vs. Terminator” showdown with Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I’ve made a definite decision that it’s not something I’m going to do,” the Democratic activist said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Reiner, whose hit films include “When Harry Met Sally” and “A Few Good Men,” said concerns about his family had persuaded him to stay out of the governor’s race.

He also said he wants to focus his political energies on passing a ballot initiative to establish universal preschool for California children.

“My kids are young, and we’ve all decided this isn’t a good time for me to do this,” Reiner said. “My focus is the kids of California, and my own kids.”

Reiner and his wife, Michelle, have three children — Jake, 14, Nick, 12, and Romy, 7.

Damn, he is four years older than Flap and Flap’s youngest child is 20 but we all know that this is an EXCUSE.

Reiner could NOT beat Angelides or Westly in the Democrat primary and anyone with a decent campaign can beat Arnold.

Reiner said he considers the politically weakened Schwarzenegger a longtime friend, and wouldn’t comment on whether he was vulnerable to a Democratic challenge next year.

“I’m the worst person to ask — I really have no idea,” he said.

He knows……he couldn’t WIN!

Now, how about Bulworth?
