Arnie: Wife made election U-turn

Arnold Schwarzenegger says his wife Maria Shriver was criticised by her mother for trying to persuade him against running for California governor in 2003 – a confrontation that ultimately opened the door to his successful candidacy.

Eunice Shriver told her daughter that her husband would be “angry for the rest of his life” if she stopped his ambitions, Schwarzenegger writes in his new autobiography 'Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story'.
