Rob Reiner will not run for California governor in 2006


SAN FRANCISCO Movie director Rob Reiner says he won't run for governor of California in 2006. The decision puts to rest rumors of a potential "Meathead versus Terminator" showdown with Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Reiner tells The Associated Press: "I've made a definite decision that it's not something I'm going to do."

Reiner's hit films include "When Harry Met Sally" and "A Few Good Men." He says concerns about his family persuaded him to stay out of the governor's race.

He also says he wants to focus his political energies on passing a ballot initiative establishing universal preschool for California children.
