The SD-28 Race is one of a handful of R vs R runoffs in California. Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone is facing off against Former Assembly-Member Bonnie Garcia. I am seriously torn in this race. Bonnie Garcia was and is one of the most Liberal Republicans to...
For those of you in a vacuum - you probably are not aware of the arena fight now that a new arena has been approved for the kings. A lot of us here in the Placer CRA are not King's fans. Some, even less so after some of our local GOP electeds decided to grandstand...
How many of you remember the AD-03 Race in 2012? Tehama County Supervisor Bob Williams ran against Assemblyman Dan Logue in 2012. Dave Gilliard talked Bob Williams in to spending $50k +/- (of his own money, no less) running against Dan Logue. In addition, Bob...
Blogger's Note: I have to moderate comments for spam, threats and profanity. There are very few comments that don't get approved. Please leave one - even if you disagree. Of these Four - Only AD67 was an R vs R race. However, these districts illustrate the further...
Remember this is the same Dave Gilliard that got lit up for racist mailers and for mailers that were bald-faced and outright lies. As is a custom for political consultants - they send out Press Releases bragging about the results of elections. Sometimes they also...
As I write this - Chris Norby just conceded defeat. This is the final seat the dems needed for their supermajority in the assembly. The leadership of the GOP never liked Norby. He beat their hand-picked candidate the last cycle and he certainly was not a vote for...
I am picking on Dave Gilliard because he is the best example in my own backyard of what is wrong with the Republican side of the political system. Gilliard had a really bad 2012 - like the rest of the party. In the ill-fated AD-08 Race, Gilliard's client flamed out...
When the Sacramento Bee endorsed Beth Gaines they wrote the following: As it is, Gaines is free to continue in her bubble world, benefiting from huge campaign money from contributors outside her district and rarely answering questions from the media without a...
Assembly Permanent Superminority Leader Connie Conway was re-elected today. She was on watch when the GOP lost another three seats in the Assembly to go below the 1/3 threshold to stop tax increases. Conway directed liberal Billionaire Charles Munger to spend on...
In tracking Charles Munger's ever-increasing money flow in to politics, I came across a filing for a liberal RINO in CA-08 that Munger has cranked some $410k in to. The filing was signed by Ashlee N. Titus acting as Treasurer as the listed Treasurer is Thomas W....
Please note that Jim Nielsen's scheduler had indicated that Nielsen had this on his schedule - inexplicably Jim Nielsen did not attend. Want to know one of the reasons why David Stafford Reade, Karen England, Jim Nielsen, Dave Gilliard et. al. have persisted in...
David Stafford Gilliard and David Stafford Reade have to be feeling some acute pain right about now. Yuba GOP - Unanimous Butte GOP 18-2 Placer GOP 16-8 Nevada GOP 16-2 Jim Nielsen's tepid support in Republican Grassroots is manifesting itself. The bottom line is...
