Schwarzenegger backers say they feel betrayed

Sacramento anti-tax advocate Ted Costa looks back at the events he set in motion when he helped kick off California's historic gubernatorial recall in 2003 - culminating in the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger - with more than a little disgust.

"He's betrayed the people who supported him from Day One," said Costa of the former GOP governor, who this week acknowledged betraying wife Maria Shriver by having an affair and an out-of-wedlock child with a housekeeper more than a decade ago. "I don't know why people are shocked."

Melanie Morgan, the former KSFO conservative talk show host who was dubbed the "Mother of the Recall," is also angry. "He squandered his marriage and the good will of the people of California," Morgan said. "And now, he's squandered any legacy."

Ripple effects
The anger of leaders in the recall of then-Gov. Gray Davis, which turned Schwarzenegger from an aging action hero into a state political leader, dramatizes the ripple effects of the sordid scandal that has rocked California.

1. Why? Were they all married to him?

Seriously, that's a bit strange, he didn't have any kind of fidelity commitment with political supporters. They might have been duped, but betrayed?

5. Liars. They knew Arnold was a pig then and they did their best to marginalize the women

who tried to publicize it.

7. I told you so. I think, in politics, marital problems should be personal. Except if you

belong to a political party that stands on the virtue of Family Values. Hypocrites should be exposed!

[Luminous Animal]

9. He was exposed. In 2003. Nobody cared.
