With the latest Survey USA poll showing Jim Patterson with a 4 point lead over Jeff Denham, the Chukchansi Tribe in Madera County is funding a six figure IE against Mr. Patterson – a negative barrage of mail, radio and TV designed as one final assault on Mr. Patterson’s record.

The Fresno Bee carries a story on this today – make no mistake about it – there are several FEC complaints pending, and a huge mess to sort out with regard to the tribe’s coordinated "fundraising" event feating $150,000 in ads funded by Denham’s State account and featuring Denham himself.

If I were the Tribe I’d start the shredders and wipe the email servers. They’ve already fired 12 people connected with the "fundraiser" and they’ll get rid of anyone with a story to tell about this "independent" expenditure as well. And I have news for them – we aren’t letting this go.

This Tuesday many voters in San Bernardino County will have the opportunity to do something that I will not get to do — and that is cast a vote for my long time friend and fellow conservative leader Janice Rutherford (pictured) as she seeks election to a seat on the Board of Supervisors. I have know Janice for over twenty five years, and let me assure you that she would be an outstanding Supervisor. Of course Janice, never one to do things the easy way, has decided to run against an eight year incumbent.

Janice and I have a friendship that goes back to our high school days where we both "cut our teeth" in the Junior Statesmen of America, the nation’s leading non-partisan, high-school level organization all about politics and government. We both still give back today, she as a Director and me as a Trustee, of this great… Read More

It wasn’t too long ago that Tom McClintock supporters started a Draft Tom movement to encourage the then-state senator to run for Congress. Now, McClintock’s faithful supporters have dusted off the Draft Tom campaign—but this time it’s to encourage the Congressman to run for a far loftier office than Congress or governor; the goal is the White House. Yesterday I received a message from Sacramento Republican activist Steve Macías informing me of his involvement with the Draft Tom McClintock for President Committee. The web site for the committee features the viral YouTube video of McClintock denouncing Mexican President Felipe Calderón for attacking the Arizona immigration law in his address to Congress last month. With over a million views, McClintock’s defense of America has resonated with average voters throughout the country. The 2012 presidential race is already in full … Read More

Much has been made about the possibility of Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina heading the two top spots on the ballot for Republicans.

What many miss is the dramatic increase that will happen at the State Assembly level. Conservative GOP women are heading to Sacramento.

The current count in the state assembly is 4. Diane Harkey and Connie Conway are staying where they are at. Audra Strickland is termed out and hopefully wins a County Supervisor seat in Ventura.

The fourth Jean Fuller will win her primary and win election to the State Senate. That would make two counting Mimi Walters. A third could be Lucille Kring running against Lou Correa in the competitive Senate District in Orange County.

In the Assembly, there are a several gains where for the most part CONSERVATIVE GOP women could win in heavily GOP… Read More
