BREAKING – California Legislature LIKELY to Begin Confirming Abel Maldonado tomorrow

That is correct. The committees in the legislature are likely be re-doing the confirmation hearing for Senator Abel Maldonado tomorrow. This is fresh from Capitol sources in the know. I guess the play is that they are going to get him out of the Senate and then try...

Meg Whitman Blinks – Goes Negative Before Steve Poizner Even Starts Advertising!?

You'd think with $50 million spent that Whitman would be getting ready for her coronation. Drop another $50 Million to make herself look like the second coming of Mother Theresa and poof! It's over. So, it should surprise veteran political observers that Meg...

Meg Whitman publicly endorsed Barbara Boxer and maxed out to her in 2004. But the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association can only point to Steve Poizner's Assembly campaign. Steve was a Republican, Meg was not. Steve voted for himself in the Primary in 2004 - Meg...

Recently, the Flashreport lit up Robert Stryk who is running for Mayor of Yountville. Yountville... say it rapidly, then look for it on a map. Think Napa County - where all the wine is. Jon Fleischman writes that his second passion in life after politics is Wine,...

The Conclusion of the Red County Saga 6 Week Delay + Team Whitman’s Job Offer

Prologue: Chip Hanlon could have simply ejected me from the Red County blog with no fanfare -i.e. "hey Aaron, your arrangement isn't going to work for us"... rather, they saw an opportunity to drive traffic and profit -so they took it. That's the real issue - then...

Abel Maldonado’s Campaign Started in December – “Orange-Placer Axis!?”

There is so much on Abel Maldonado that it is hard to pick a starting point. He introduced himself to the 2010 Lt. Gov campaign with a choice swipe at Republican Activists. I was watching the confirmation hearings on the California Channel with my brother (who is...

Remember how Steve Poizner outed some internal emails from the Whitman campaignessentially trying to see if they could push Steve Poizner out of the Governor's race? The only people that thought it was a bad move were those - like the Rally Gerbil - on Meg's...

Hypocricy Illustrated – Conservatives for Whitman?

We know the "Conservatives" at Meg County were purchased. We know that this Conservative refused to betray Steve Poizner (and that story will be told soon) - unlike Jim Nielsen, Brian Nestande and John Campbell who all switched their endorsements to join the...

Chip Hanlon / Red County System Slammed by MSM for Taking $20K From Meg Whitman Campaign

Hat tip to Calbuzz Blog for Covering and an NBC affiliate blog for covering this - in the last 24 hours I have talked to a few media outlets. The keys to my ouster from the Red County are that Hanlon was told about my situation, by me on 10/30/2009 and threw me out...
