THE HUMMER & THE HYBRID

By ROY NAKANO

During the highly-publicized California gubernatorial campaign last year, an unexpected rivalry emerged between actor-turned-candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger and political commentator-turned candidate Arianna Huffington. The actor is well-known for his role as de facto spokesperson for Hummer vehicles. Folklore has it that he custom-ordered the first Hummer converted for civilian use. Almost as well known is Ms. Huffington’s advocacy of hybrid vehicles. After learning of the actor’s declared candidacy, Ms. Huffington observed, “It’ll be the Hummer versus the hybrid.”
