　　Schwarzenegger To Run For Governor

　　The Terminator has a dream — he wants to bethe"Governator1 "of California and follow in thefootsteps of another Hollywood hero who gave upacting for a greater stage — Ronald Reagan.

　　Action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger unexpectedly threw himself into the race for Californiagovernor on August 6, 2003 in a show-stopping2 announcement that heralded a spectacularcampaign.

　　The surprise decision by one of the screen's biggest stars followed weeks of speculationabout whether he would try to terminate the career of California governor Gray Davis in ahistoric recall3 vote . The Austrian-born actor, 56 , who became a U. S. citizen in 1983, hasbeen toying for years with the idea of flexing his muscles at the ballot box instead of the boxoffice. But after blowing hot and cold for weeks, aides had expected the star to bow to theconcerns of his wife about the effect on their four children and stay out of the Octobergubernatorial race.

　　He might have spent years playing a futuristic robot in the"Terminator"blockbusters, butSchwarzenegger has shown himself to be politically astute off screen, building a strong profilewithin the Republican Party and garnering grass-roots support through his work for the SpecialOlympics and other sports programs. In 2000, he considered, but decided against, making arun for California governor. Three years on, Schwarzenegger has more name recognition , more personal wealth — 30 million alone for the latest"Terminator" installment — and morecharisma than any of the other candidates.

　　Thirty years ago, the 6 ft-2ins body-builder came to America looking for fame and fortune inthe movies, hampered by an unpronounceable name and a thick accent. Success was hard tocome by initially and he focused on body-building, winning seven Mr Olympia titles and earninghimself the nickname"the Austrian Oak". He eventually graduated to the title role in"Conan theBarbarian"in 1982 and later the 1984 sci-fi4 action move"The Terminator"which made him into asuperstar.

　　His marriage to one of the ( Democratic ) Kennedy clan5—TV journalist Maria Shriver — lookedfor a while as if it might hamper his political ambitions. Shriver was reported to be worriedabout the effects of a time -consuming and high-profile political campaign — let alone apossible win — on their four young children, but also told Schwarzenegger she would supporthim whatever his decision."Yes, she 's a Democrat6 , "said Schwarzenegger" and this is thefirst time she 's going to vote for a Republican .
