In the interest of fairness - I interviewed Tim Herman for about 45 minutes. I will be writing a two part post about my conversation with him. His words - not mine. I believe that Sam Cannon offers the right contrast to Mr. Herman. Look at Sam Cannon's ballot...
For the benefit of some of the readers of this blog - Yountville is a study in real corruption. Take notes. You have a hotel - the Villagio that is used as a primary destination for Democrat Party Fundraisers. The owners of the Villagio have a vested interest in...

At the Placer County Republican Party BBQ - Doug LaMalfa was one of four speakers. The other three - Alby, Gaines and Niello are all combatants for the SD-01 race nomination. Doug LaMalfa's overriding message was one of unity - have your disagreements at the dinner...
