Congrats to Mik who almost beat Kevin Hanley despite spending 1/20 of what Hanley did. Kevin Hanley was out sign-waiving on Sierra College and Douglas on Election Day. SMH. I know that Pugno, Kiley and our camp were calling and walking precincts on Election Day,...
Here we are two weeks out, and we just found out who has a thick skin and who is not ready to hold office. Young Mr. Kiley is starting to buckle under the pressure of having no real endorsements and seeing the dress falling off the proverbial campaign pig. #1 Kiley...
Something I have not seen in a long time - a three way "Gang Bang" piece. This comes courtesy of Andrew P Pugno. Halldin gets swatted, Cristi Beckstead Nelson gets Punched and Young Mr. Kiley gets Piledriven. Did you know that Kiley was one of Liberal Democrat...
Cristi Beckstead-Nelson has not been heard from. Perhaps that is merciful. Kevin Kiley's campaign is also progressing as he has staked his political future on taking the Pete Wilson endorsement down the political toilet bowl. As Kiley is swirling, Bill Halldin was...
Every campaign for a major office has its' normal stuff... unknown candidates with access to money and exaggerated resumes. Candidates try to hide obvious things in their backgrounds. Candidates try to pander to various groups, sometimes outright lying. However,...
Let's go from the bottom up. Suzanne Jones, has $2500 left. Has lent herself about $10k Kevin Hanley, has a net $54k left. Has bought some radio and some mail. Has only raised about $20k from people not named Kevin Hanley. The first real news is that Cristi Nelson...
When you get in to a campaign and it is not well thought out you #EPICFAIL routinely. Click the screenshot of the Campaign Facebook Page of Cristi Nelson. #AD10 comprises all of Marin County and some of Sonoma County. Point Reyes National Seashore is in AD10. I...
Please note - I am helping Bill Halldin and was proud to have been involved in helping him from almost the day he decided to run for AD06. This blog post is written from a 30,000 foot view as best I can despite my personal interest in electing Bill Halldin to the...
Today, Bill Halldin became the undisputed front-runner of the #AD06 Mess. He bagged the most coveted endorsements left to get in this tussle. Jim Nielsen, Doug LaMalfa, James Gallagher and Frank Bigelow - all partisan electeds, represents a gigantic reset button in...
As Cristi Beckstead-Nelson and Kevin Kiley are preparing to attack their opponents with negative mail, their recent #EPICFAIL's tell us a possible reason why they are getting to the attack stage as they are starting to address the brutal reality that they are...
Republicans SUCK at social media. One Kevin Kiley is spending a TON of money on social media. On one hand, he gets it coming up with a neat social media gimmick. On the other hand, he went from 2/28 to about 3/16 without tweeting. Any candidate serious about social...
The Folsom Chamber of Commerce held a candidate forum last night. It featured 9(!) of the candidates for #AD06. For reasons unbeknownst to me, Brian Caples and the other Dem were no-shows. I am going to focus on the funded candidates - so let me summarize the...
