A reliable source in Sacramento says that Schwarzenegger's short list includes: failed Secretary of State candidate Bruce McPherson; Pete Mehas, Fresno County's Superintendent of schools; Former State Senator Dede Alpert; and possibly Margaret Fortune, the former asst. secretary in the Davis Adminstration and also a Director under Schwarzenegger's previous Secretary of Education Richard Riordan.
