[SATURDAY UPDATE: The governor's speech to the state GOP convention in Anaheim today included an endorsement of Proposition 75, the union dues initiative... it did not, however, include the image of "corporate America" as one of the bad guys, as noted below.]

Was it an intentional shift in political imagery?

Just before he got to "The Announcement" today in San Diego, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger launched into his criticism of how things work in Sacramento, and his belief that the system is broken.

"We still have the same government employees, union bosses up there," he told the crowd. "We still have the same special interests, we still have the same legislators, the powerful groups, corporate America..."

Corporate America?

Turns out the governor actually said the same thing earlier this week in Riverside, and almost the same thing in Fresno. It's an interesting addition to his now well-known hit list of the bad guys-- especially given the narrow definition of "special interests" he's used so far, and how his financial backers have largely been part of "corporate America."
