Hollywood for Arianna

| 6 Comments

Bernard Weinraub in the NYT covers the Huffington fundraiser in Holmby Hills Tuesday night:

...the liberal-come-lately newspaper columnist who has frequently opened her Brentwood home to stars, talent agents, producers and studio executives, has clearly struck a chord among the Hollywood set with her candidacy for governor of California.

Though her chances of winning the Oct. 7 recall election seem as likely as President Bush asking Barbra Streisand for advice on Iraq (her statewide poll ratings are hovering around 3 percent) Ms. Huffington has already won the heavy, if not overwhelming, support of the entertainment industry here.

The story also talks about Arnold's Hollywood supporters. Separately, the Wall Street Journal has a story today, behind the pay wall, on Schwarzenegger raising money among his friends in Silicon Valley.
