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...
Sierra College Trustee Candidate Howard Rudd has been using his connections developed over years in business and years of goodwill created to gain critical mass. This blogger has been contacted by two local elected officials who have endorsed Howard Rudd. Rudd was...

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....
I was sent a copy of a poll. 400 Likely voters inside AD05. This is a typical sample of an Assembly-level poll. This polling data shows that AD05 is far more conservative than people give it credit for and suggests that RINO-type Republicans like Arnold and McCain...
The significance is in the title. The further significance is that big donors will start coming over and this is especially important since Andy has over 5,000 small donors. Andy will need those $3900 checks to be the antidote for the wealthy far-left candidate the...
