Will Arnold Schwarzenegger run for the US Senate in 2010?
Background: The governor regularly dismisses talk of another political run - specifically for U.S. Senate - as something he's just not interested in, but recently he appeared to soften his words.
Asked by a Chronicle reporter at a Commonwealth Club of California appearance this month whether he ruled out a U.S. Senate run, the governor wasn't definitive - and deftly sidestepped the question.
"I have my hands full with all the stuff I'm doing now," he said, referring to his campaign to pass a package of budget-related propositions that are on a special-election May 19 ballot. "I'm concentrating on that and not what I'm going to do next," he said.
"You know," he added, as he signed autographs, "I'm not a politician. I'm a public servant." Still, he has plunged with gusto into a new round of campaigning up and down the state to push the measures, and has now landed encouragement from some very powerful allies - like the popular Democratic president.
With a year until primaries begin for the 2010 elections - and an energetic crowd of Republicans and Democrats already preparing to replace Schwarzenegger in the governor's seat - political observers say the latest developments have tripped off a new round in the guessing game of what his next step may be. Another political campaign, a move into the Obama administration, or something entirely new?
