Catch up on the Drama in California’s First Senate District Race

Those of you following the news would have heard that Senator Dave Cox passed away after a long fight with cancer.

The fight to replace him in the State Senate will be quite short. (2 1/2 months)

At my home blog - I profiled the three likely contestants on the Republican side. This is a safe seat, so the battle is in the Primary.

I followed up with some more insider dirt here.

I will be taking sides in this race and soon – and you will have a front-row seat.

Did Meg Whitman Bail Out on Prop 23 and the Border issue?

I wrote a blog the other day. I am afraid that Whitman is doing two things – veering to the left like Arnold did, but because she is either taking the Right for granted or does not care about them.

Many of us have been starved for real substance out of Whitman and what we have been seeing has been disturbing at best.

Read my post about Meg Whitman, Prop 23 and the Borders and leave a comment or two – what do you think?

CA-11 Update: Sgt York Endorses David Harmer, Why It Sucks to Be Jerry McNerney

Jerry McNerney.

A left-wing cylon that would be on the fringe of any district. But – what makes McNerney worse is that he is an empty military uniform that ran for office on a platform of “I’m a Veteran” and “Pombo is corrupt”.

Guess what? Pombo never came close to getting indicted and John Doolittle was exhonerated.

Oh and McNerney has had his fair share of Dirty Money.

Now McNerney has a four-year track record of screwing the military, raising taxes, promoting socialism and moral values that belong in a psychological manual as opposed to in mainstream society.

Very simple.

David Harmer = lower taxes. Jerry McNerney = Higher Taxes.

David Harmer = less government. Jerry McNerney = socialized healthcare, tax payer-funded abortion and government takeover of industry.

David Harmer = values. Jerry McNerney = 100% record from NARAL, high ratings from LGBT groups and the ACLU.

Now who’s the extremist?

If you want a return to common sense – David Harmer is it. Jerry McNerney has distinguished himself as being the incumbent Congressional Politician who is way on the fringe.

Need more? Mcnerney has served his master Nancy Pelosi well – 98.5% of the time he has done her bidding.

Meantime – the Delta Smelt still gets precedence over the farmers of the Central Valley.

Polls Suggest Whitman Smacks Poizner Around, Pretty Well…

The billionaire former CEO of online auction firm eBay will square off in the Nov. 9 general election against Democrat Jerry Brown, who faced no serious opposition in Tuesday’s primary vote.

With 7 percent of precincts reporting, Whitman, 54, had captured 66 percent of the Republican vote, while Poizner had won 25 percent. Brown claimed his party’s nomination with 84 percent of the Democratic vote.

Since declaring her intention to run on Feb. 9, Whitman has virtually rewritten the rules of campaigning. She spent twice as much as any statewide candidate in primary history, starting her paid advertising campaign 14 months before the general election and heavily limiting her exposure to journalists.

If tonight’s results hold, she will be the first woman to win the Republican nomination for governor.

Whitman entered the race promising to spend as much as $150 million of her own money on her campaign. By primary day, she had put in $71 million and raised another $16 million.

“From the beginning of the campaign, we built a plan and executed against it,” said veteran Republican consultant Jeff Randle, a top Whitman adviser. “When the campaign got really ugly this year, we stuck to the plan. That’s a complete reflection of who the candidate is.”

California Lt Governor Update – Abel Maldonado Voted to Regulate Clorox

Do you like Formula 409? Simple Green?

Clorox? CLR? Windex?

The state Legislature is bought as much by the enviros as they are by the Labor Unions. When the enviros come screaming about a new boogieman – the legislature springs in to action with a new regulation.

Enter Abel Maldonado.

AB1879 – creates a new commission to regulate household chemicals.

Borne out of the same stupidity that banned rat poison (so now they get stuck in traps to suffer and die instead) – the brain trust in the State legislature voted to hand over their authority to a bunch of unelected, appointed bureaucrats.

Even Jeff Denham couldn’t vote for this drivel.

So if Clorox or 409 disappear from the shelves – thank Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abel Maldonado.

In the meantime – send Abel Maldonado back to Santa Maria. Vote Sam Aanestad for Lt Governor.
