Corpus Christi Caller-Times Tuesday, September 2, 2003 caller.com Nation Candidates step up campaigns Davis criticizes Schwarzenegger Associated Press LOS ANGELES Gov. Gray Davis and the candidates seeking to replace him in California's recall election used the Labor Day holiday to criss-cross the state and take their shots at front-running Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. Davis accused Schwarzenegger on Monday of being a stand-in for former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, who had been an opponent of labor during his eight years in office. Davis reminded pro-labor supporters at a downtown rally that Wilson is co-chairman of Schwarzenegger's campaign.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean Walsh said Davis was resorting to the criticism because he lacked vision. Former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, a Republican, criticized Schwarzenegger for only agreeing to take part in one campaign debate. "Giving voters a chance to hear him several times before Election Day is good for him. It's good for the voters. And it's good for the Democratic process," Ueberroth said.
Schwarzenegger was in Sacramento meeting supporters at the California State Fair and working a table to register voters for the Oct. 7 recall election.
