SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Despite his rocky relationship with the White House, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has surrounded himself with a team of former Bush aides to run his re-election campaign.
The latest addition came last week with Alex Castellanos, a master of the attack ad who helped President Bush's 2004 campaign team transform Sen. John Kerry from a war hero into a weakling in the eyes of many voters.
Given Schwarzenegger's vulnerability this year, some analysts say he was shrewd to hire consultants who know how to attack the opposition when their own candidate is struggling.
