San Jose Mercury News?"Powerful political duo: Schwarzenegger, Pataki"
"Schwarzenegger and Pataki lead large states that are strongly Democratic, failing to support Bush in either the 2000 or 2004 presidential elections. Because of their size and demographics, California and New York struggle for their share of federal funds. California was ranked 43 out of the 50 states in 2003 for the amount of federal money it receives for each dollar it sends to Washington in taxes, according to the Tax Foundation; New York was ranked 42nd."
