Actor Rob Lowe Joins Schwarzenegger Campaign (Reuters, 8/15/03).

Actor Rob Lowe, who played a top White House aide on television, has joined the real-life gubernatorial campaign of fellow star Arnold Schwarzenegger, a campaign spokeswoman said on Friday.

Lowe, a longtime Democratic activist whose attendance at the party's 1988 national convention led to a sex scandal, has accepted a volunteer post to organize celebrity supporters for Schwarzenegger, a Republican seeking to unseat Democratic California Gov. Gray Davis in a recall election this fall.

Lowe became the third high-profile addition to the Schwarzenegger campaign in as many days, following announcements that billionaire investor Warren Buffett -- another Democrat -- and former Secretary of State George Shultz had agreed to serve as co-chairs of the actor's Economic Recovery Council.

This may seem like an odd line to draw, but I can't help feeling that we just took a sharp turn off Reality Avenue. Posted by David Cohen at August 15, 2003 10:00 PM
