Andy Pugno had to be stopped at all costs. How dare anyone take on an incumbent. If an incumbent was beaten by a challenger, that would set a precedent. The problem is that we now live in a Prop 14 world, this "top-two" system invites challenges to incumbents. So,...

Look - I know Charles Munger hunts Conservatives. As you'll see in the series I am doing right now - Munger went after Pro-Life leader Sherry Hodges, the Author of prop 8 Andy Pugno, Minutemen Founder Gregg Imus and threw in Conservative Christians Rico Oller and...
I have repeatedly lambasted Assembly Permanent Minority Leader Connie Conway for being stupid and short-sighted. I decided to start looking in to where the money came from and went in some depth. Charles Munger is not the only one out there that had an obsession...
I like the concept on the surface - Jim Brulte, reasonably conservative, widely known, access to lots of donors, former legislator, influential... for Chairman of the California Republican Party (CRP) I think Brulte would succeed in raising money. Duf Sundheim...
