Egg attack fails to stop the Terminator

Arnold Schwarzenegger was pelted with a raw egg at a California university campus last night but went ahead with a speech in which he said he is running for governor to give back to a state that is responsible for all his success.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was pelted with a raw egg at a California university campus last night but went ahead with a speech in which he said he is running for governor to give back to a state that is responsible for all his success.

A thrown egg splattered on the back of the screen tough guy’s left shoulder as he waded through the crowd at California State University in Long Beach.

An aide tried to wipe it off, but he simply peeled off his coat and went ahead with his speech.

Hundreds of students crammed the university quad for the speech under the hot afternoon sun.

Some were Young Republicans invited from other schools, according to the actor’s campaign.

A knot of opponents from La Raza Student Association heckled him for his past support of Proposition 187, which sought to deny services to illegal immigrants.

They held a sign saying Hasta la vista Latinos.

Supporters drowned out the hecklers with chants of “Arnold, Arnold, Arnold.”

His campaign also released three new television adverts, showing Schwarzenegger sitting at a table with people and promising to fight special interests and clean up the state.

“Now, here is my plan: audit everything, open the books, and then we end the crazy deficit spending,” he says in one advert.
