SUMMARY: Writing about Sen. John McCain's chances of winning California in the general election, Politico chief political columnist Roger Simon asserted that McCain "is, broadly speaking, in the same mold as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger." But Simon did not mention the differences between Schwarzenegger and McCain on two key issues: a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq and universal health care.
