Late this afternoon Steve Poizner and Meg Wihitman will have their first debate, moderated by network news reporter Conan Nolan. A big thank you to event hosts The New Majority for streaming this event and providing us the embedding code so you can watch it below… The event is at 530pm… I will be attending the event in person — should be fun!
Unlike other events where I typically mix in with attendees, and occasionally look off at whatever sequestered area the media has been forced to squeeze into, this time I am IN that area — covering the first Gubernatorial GOP of the season as a "member of the press corps" — yikes.
With the help of my friend and fellow blogger Matt Cunningham (holding the FlashCam), I filmed this little five minute video… Check it out! Be patient if it isn’t up right away – You Tube takes a few minutes to process.
Check out my "live tweeting" of the debate at www.twitter.com/flashreport. I’m also live blogging on Red County’s live feed here.
Just another day at the office for the men and women that work in California’s prisons.
From California Department of Corrections news release:
This morning, March 13, 2010, at approximately 8:14 a.m., a 43-year-old female correctional officer at North Kern State Prison (NKSP) sustained moderate injuries in an unprovoked attack by a 37-year-old inmate in the reception center part of the prison. The correctional officer was transported to Delano Regional Medical Center where she remains in stable condition. The inmate was identified as inmate Russ Loc, who has been housed at the prison since March 8, 2010, after being convicted in Los Angeles County for forced oral copulation resulting in great bodily injury. The incident began this morning at approximately 8… Read More
The first competitive San Diego County Sheriff’s race since 1994 enters its primary leg withthree hopefuls to appear on the ballot. As well, a challenge has been filed over one candidate’s chosenballot description.
The pool of anticipated competitors narrowed from four on Friday, when perennial candidate Bruce Ruff dropped his bidin passive fashion, simply not filing any nominating paperwork by the deadline after he campaigned for several months.
The three remaining candidates each have law enforcement experience. Obviously, they want to tout their respective backgrounds. Thus, their chosen ballot designations…
Jim Duffy – San Diego County Sheriff Lieutenant
Bill Gore – San Diego County Sheriff, Appointed
Jay La Suer – Retired Undersheriff, San Diego
Watchers of these types of things (hacks like me) know the general rules for this all important designation (the last and sometimes only thing many voters will truly note about each candidate prior to voting)…

Judging from reports the CRP convention this weekend has been a very interesting one. I’m a member, appointed by Congressman Darrell Issa, and I usually attend. But this weekend’s GOP convention conflicted with the annual National Audition Grand Finals of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. I was really looking forward to seeing Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner in Santa Clara, but as donors we were invited to the Auditions. I opted for music over politics, a rare such decision, and hopefully Jon Fleischman will have inserted my picture at the Met with Audition’s host, famous mezzo soprano Marilyn Horne, taken about 45 minutes ago, to prove I actually was doing something else of meaning this weekend. For those interested, PBS stations in California will be airing a documentary film tonight about the 2007 Auditions, a good cool down after a busy GOP event.… Read More
I’m penning this brief blog entry while here at the California Republican Party convention. At the luncheon today, U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, in conjunction with her speech, will be unveiling a new web video. Her last campaign video — "Demonsheep" as it has been dubbed — went "viral" with the better part of a million hits on You Tube alone.
This blog post is set to go live at 12:45, when the campaign has given me a green light to share the video with FR readers….
So…
Here it is! (If the video doesn’t play, it may be a little early. They will allow views in conjunction with the live debute here at convention.)
