Breaking the mold

Just caught up with Arnold's event guru Carl Bendix, all dapper in black and feeling chipper about making California campaign balloon and confetti history with a green, orange and white motif intended to underscore The Gov's commitment to the environment and other forms of independent thinking. "It's campaign(ing) with a twist," Bendix said. Not to worry, party traditionalists -- there's a second bank of red, white and blue balloons ready to cascade down on your heads as the party ticket comes in.
