Riordan takes himself out of running for Calif. governor

(08-07) 17:52 PDT LOS ANGELES (AP) --

Former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan took himself out of the running for governor late Thursday and endorsed Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"I have decided not to enter the race for governor," Riordan said in a three-paragraph statement.

"This recall election offers us a choice: We can either continue with politics as usual in California, or we can elect someone who works on behalf of every Californian, not just the special interests," he said. "As I have said many times, I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger is a very talented man who would make an excellent governor."
