Quick Update - The California Association of Realtors Pac has decided that 2012 is a year where they are going to make a major move to start attacking conservatives in favor of tax-raising moderates. They donated $7800 to Rick Bossetti. - Bossetti is pretty...
We've seen it all before - a Republican race with a Moderate Candidate who calls himself a Conservative vs a Real Conservative who does not need to call himself one because he lives it. Jim Nielsen is a squish. I could care less about his residency BS. Everyone...
According to the blog that David Stafford Gilliard (The other David) owns, Doug LaMalfa went in and had a sit-down with Governor Jerry Brown. Doug LaMalfa informed Jerry Brown that he wanted to resign immediately and requested that Jerry Brown schedule the special...
Jim Nielsen has a problem. He got caught. The same Republican leadership that allowed Charles Munger to go after Alan Mansoor with almost $700k told Jim Nielsen and David Stafford Reade to leave Dan Logue alone. They didn't listen - they recruited a political ally...
When you see Gentlemen Jim making a $5000, then a $15000 contribution to a Central Committee this late in an election cycle, it usually is not due to generosity or out of a desire to reward a committee for service. But - here is the problem, the Tehama County...
Here's the score. Rumors that Dan Logue was colluding with Doug LaMalfa are 100% false - Logue is hiding out trying to make sure he doesn't get a stray bomb or two in his living room... ... David Stafford Reade outsmarted himself. He recruited a County Supervisor...
Let me start by saying that I am not aligned politically with the Tehama GOP within the GOP political strata. They have been / are in the LaMalfa/Nielsen Camp - the regular readers of this blog know that I use LaMalfa and Nielsen as a punching bag regularly. That...
This is a common sight in the north state. Logue and LaMalfa 4x8 signs in close proximity. I am not sure what to make of this. I do know that recently, Dan Logue re-joined the club, and endorsed a whole bunch of incumbents regardless of past history. Logue is...
The "leadership" of the California Republican Party are notorious conflict avoiders, they are also skilled at nuance. For example, when a Central Committee deadlocks on an endorsement and can't reach 2/3 - it does not count as "taking an action", don't you know....
Sutter County's Lincoln Day Dinner was very different from Yuba's. The crowd was smaller and the atmosphere was much more subdued. As opposed to Yuba County where Dan Logue is a rockstar - Sutter County is under the influence of Team Nielsen/LaMalfa. Wally Herger...
I got to see H.L. Richardson speak - wow. At 84 years of age, he is amazing, still. I did not know that Sam Paredes is H.L.'s son-in-law. The attendance at this dinner was phenomenal and I took note of a Monument that the Knights of Colombus placed on the Church...
Best short speech: Kirk Uhler rocked the crowd with his short address. Pam Tobin took suddenly ill and did not make the dinner. (Perhaps her liberal democrat activist consultant and campaign manager did not want to come to the dinner?) Biggest Surprise: Robert...
