By Ben van der Meer, PolitickerCA.com Senior Reporter

Opponents of redistricting measure Proposition 11 raised the specter of another state with well-known screwy elections Wednesday, in criticizing 11 backer Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for going to Florida to raise money for the ballot measure.

A press release from anti-11 group Citizens for Accountability documents that Schwarzenegger raised $590,000 on a tour there late last week, including thousands from major donors to such prominent Republicans as President George W. Bush, Sen. John McCain and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

DeLay likes Huckabee in 2012 if McCain loses

By James B. Gerber, PolitickerCA.com Reporter

CABAZON - Tom DeLay was a supporter of Mike Huckabee in the Republican primaries, and likes his chances for the party's nomination in 2012 if John McCain loses in November, despite disagreeing with the former Arkansas governor on a number of issues.

"I've known Huckabee for 30 years," DeLay, the former House majority leader from Texas, told PolitickerCA.com. "I know what kind of man he is, how strong he is. I didn't agree with him on global warming, but I can overlook that knowing what a great man he is."
