...Arnold Schwarzenegger ( A ) failed to make the cut as a member of his California gubernatorial campaign's brain trust. ( B ) abandoned his effort at giving speeches in a Kennedy accent. ( C ) decided, now that it was serious, to take acting lessons...

"Everybody had been surprised by [his poor showing], including him," says a G.O.P. strategist. Democrats, meanwhile, appeared to be gaining as they coalesced around what is known as the "no-yes" approach: asking voters to cast a ballot against recalling Governor Gray Davis but in favor of Lieutenant Governor Cruz...
