Capitol Alert

It's not every day that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger takes second billing in an op-ed. But he does so today, co-authoring an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal with Carlos Gutierrez, the U.S. secretary of commerce.

The pair preview their joint event today at a Hitachi plant in Torrance and boast of the benefits of free trade.

"Prominent voices in punditry and politics have questioned the benefits of America's openness and called for an isolationist U-turn that would choke off our innovation and prosperity," they write. "In every state of the union, such a retreat would be disastrous for jobs, economic growth and consumer choice."
