John Fund discusses Arnold Schwarzenegger’s remarkable ability to keep the real truth about his plans to run for governor quiet until the last minute. But here’s something I didn’t know about his consultants: “Several played a pivotal role in Boris Yeltsin’s come-from-behind re-election campaign for Russian president in 1996.”
Go back to 1984. You are leaving the theater after watching “Terminator”, and somebody tells you that in less than 20 years, not only will Arnold be running for governor of California, but he’ll be using campaign consultants with experience in Russian elections.
What a world.
