If you have the slightest appetite for good political theatre, reading this Daily News story about Warren Beatty's anti-Arnold-Schwarzenegger speech in Oakland the other day will get your blood going. There are those who would love to see Beatty run against Schwarzenegger, but I there's no way he'll ever drop his Artful Dodger mentality and hang his hide over the side. It would be terrific, of course, if he did run. And I don't agree at all with the view of Dick Rosengarten, co-publisher of California Political Week, that a Beatty candidacy wouldn't fly. "I'm not sure two movie stars can run [against each other], not even here," he told the News. Wrong -- two former movie stars battling it out for the California governorship would be a totally natural and logical expression of the way Hollywood and politics have been bleeding into each other and upping the ante over the last 45 years.
