Schwarzenegger Mulls California Governor Election

The Hollywood action hero says the only thing standing in his way is if his family objects to his political move.

He explains, "When I get to that point that I say, 'I want to run,' I will have that conversation with my family and with my close friends."

He says the advice of his wife, Maria Shriver - a relative of the political Kennedy clan - will be especially significant.

He adds, "She has to give the green light and feels comfortable with it because she moved away from Washington to get away from all that kind of stuff.

"I'm not thinking about it now, but I might start thinking about it after Terminator 3 is released. So much has to be done for marketing, publicity, commercial tie-ins, and the merchandising."
