The CTA loves them! The Teacher's Union has been getting involved in several local races. The California Teacher's Association (Union) has sent mailers on behalf of Niello and Richard Pan. Here is a comparison shot between the two mailers. The Union knows that both...
Dr. Richard Pan is an empty shirt. He still can't finish a sentence and he has had his pimps um, friends in the labor unions shilling for him to the tune of $3 million. Andy Pugno's ad is really simple. It is what Jack Sieglock should have done in AD-10. Pugno will...
Kevin Johnson - the left-wing Mayor of Sacramento. He announced his endorsements today. With every endorsement comes baggage. Kevin Johnson has a ton - a federal investigation in to his Charter School and his recent endorsement list is even worse baggage for anyone...
Standard attack pattern of the left- get a bunch of women to say what a evil meanie the Republican is for being Pro-Life. The ad of course is replete with the hyperbolae that you've come to expect from the "Women's rights" groups. (Who, incidently have nothing to...
Let me see. The Dems are deciding to lead with their chins going in to the last 6 weeks of this election cycle. This is not unlike the Niello "I'm an honest tax-raiser strategy" being employed against Ted Gaines. So the dems are doing the following: Veteran...

The Bee wants you to believe that Andy Pugno is all about Prop 8 only. Andy Pugno's Primary Opponents did as well. The Bee story ends with this line - Candidate Pugno downplays the issue's importance to him. That makes sense. Few voters care as deeply about it as...
Grassroots activism is still alive. Even though the State CRA did not endorse in either the AD-05 race or the SD-04 race, it did not stop our members from making an impact for the club's favorites. By now, insiders are done buzzing over the 16.4% blowout loss by...
I lampooned Chad in the past for his signs... But Chad Vander Veen emailed Andy Pugno and congratulated him after the result of the primary was known. That was a class move, Chad. Hat Tip. I understand that Donald Thompson emailed Andy Pugno that same night as well...
Folks - I try to stay out of local races for anything south of the Kern County Line. There is a reason - California might as well be three worlds... Bay Area, Southern California and the rest of the state. I live in the rest of the state. Ben Lopez wrote an Op-Ed...
Signs. They are generally worthless - they usually don't get you votes... the primary purposes are usually to fire up volunteers and to establish a "presence" in the district being sought for election to... There are some common-sense rules with campaign signs....
