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...
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...
I am not suprised by this, but still upset. I called in to the Eric Hogue show today when he was talking about the impact of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association. I thank Jon Coupal for coming on the air and confirming that no money changed hands before the...
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,...
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...
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...
Michael Babich - the relatively unknown Auburn resident, Physician and Scholar has been bragging recently that he has raised $60,000 for his run against Tom McClintock in the primary. $60,000!? Ose spent $7.9MILLION to get 39% of the vote! That's $202,564.10 per...
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...
Sam Aanestad called this blogger with some exclusive quotes: "I am looking forward to a robust campaign for the Republican nomination for Lt. Governor", started Aanestad, "I know Abel must be disappointed, but there is a process called an election by the...
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...
