3. California Nurses fire back at Schwarzenegger in TV ad campaign
The 60,000-strong California Nurses Association is firing back at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger with a national TV campaign depicting the self- proclaimed reformer as just another tool of the monied interests.
The 60-second spot -- which was produced gratis by documentary maker Robert Greenwald (as in "Outfoxed" and "Uncovered: The War on Iraq") -- opens with the governor's foot-in-mouth comments about nurses being "special interests" who are mad at him because "I kick their butt."

"We practiced on mannequins for years but this allows us to be interactive," Daley said. "Our students can learn how to intervene without really practicing on a real person."
