Yup. The negative opinion many in the CRA have of Carly Fiorina is because of Chuck DeVore's characterization of her. Having met Fiorina in person - she has been groosly underestimated and mis-characterized by the DeVore campaign. But, that's politics, right? Jam...
Meg Whitman again is spending money like it's going out of style - including a hospitality suite with an open bar. (YIKES) Her staff were like ants - btw, they went out of their way to be friendly to this blogger. I saw all the heavy hitters from the Pete Wilson...
Well - Meg Whitman keynoted the dinner, it was a good speech (off of a teleprompter) and was well received. Also in tow was Mitt Romney - looks like Mitt is coming back for another crack at it. I was greeted by a mess under my front door from Whitman telling me...
The "Block" - a tactic where a candidate who knows they have no chance of winning tries to run a drill to rally enough support to deny the 2/3 necessary to their opponent. It is simple to understand why Carly Fiorina failed to Block Chuck DeVore... Chuck DeVore was...
This weekend the CRA will be celebrating its 75th Anniversary. As a 10-year CRA member, your 4-Term Sgt, local Central Committee Member and infamous blogger - I take great pride in knowing that Ronald Reagan once enthusiastically, and rightly, proclaimed that the...
There has been some consternation over the local CRA endorsement process... I blogged here about it being a LaMalfa staff Reunion. Colonel Pete Stiglich blogged about it as well. The state CRA endorsement is coveted by Republican Politicians because of what Ronald...
You'd think with $50 million spent that Whitman would be getting ready for her coronation. Drop another $50 Million to make herself look like the second coming of Mother Theresa and poof! It's over. So, it should surprise veteran political observers that Meg...
Meg Whitman publicly endorsed Barbara Boxer and maxed out to her in 2004. But the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association can only point to Steve Poizner's Assembly campaign. Steve was a Republican, Meg was not. Steve voted for himself in the Primary in 2004 - Meg...
I am not suprised by this, but still upset. I called in to the Eric Hogue show today when he was talking about the impact of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association. I thank Jon Coupal for coming on the air and confirming that no money changed hands before the...
Prologue: Chip Hanlon could have simply ejected me from the Red County blog with no fanfare -i.e. "hey Aaron, your arrangement isn't going to work for us"... rather, they saw an opportunity to drive traffic and profit -so they took it. That's the real issue - then...
Remember how Steve Poizner outed some internal emails from the Whitman campaignessentially trying to see if they could push Steve Poizner out of the Governor's race? The only people that thought it was a bad move were those - like the Rally Gerbil - on Meg's...
We know the "Conservatives" at Meg County were purchased. We know that this Conservative refused to betray Steve Poizner (and that story will be told soon) - unlike Jim Nielsen, Brian Nestande and John Campbell who all switched their endorsements to join the...
