The Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate Campaign has launched a new website, http://www.callmebarbara.com.

I was hipped to the new site by this enticing tweet: … Read More

Yesterday at a Luncheon featuring Dianne Feinstein (She is hoping that Democrats defeat the Republican minority that is to blame for all our problems next year) a few attendees complained I hadn’t posted anything new on the 59th Assembly District race. Here is a quick update. Follow the links for more info. Michael Rogers appears to no longer be running. Claremont Mayor Corey Calaycay has a kick-off this Sunday in Claremont. He has several former and current legislative staffers helping his campaign. Ken Hunter is till running a grassroots campaign. He is the candidate that I think can be fairly described as coming out the Tea Party Movement. … Read More

Democrat dirty-trickster Chris Lehane, who coined the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy" famously used by Hillary Clinton as an evasive one-liner, is being paid millions by public employee labor unions to try to unnerve the campaign of Republican Governor candidate Meg Whitman. His success, whether focused on Whitman or Poizner, will only serve further dysfunction in California government. He claims Whitman is "someone connected to Wall Street" (as if that is a bad thing) who should let the public know if she has paid her "fair share of taxes" by disclosing tax returns, which are confidential documents filed with the IRS. I think Lehane’s Harvard Law degree is scarier than Meg Whitman’s success in business. California’s dysfunction is owed in no small measure to Democrats with Harvard law degrees.

Of course, Lehane’s spin for tax return disclosure is just that. The candidates for Governor and any other office in California are already required to disclose their finances in more than just general terms by filing California Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700. The Whitman campaign is required… Read More

I’m a bit pressed for time today, so today it is the Poizner campaign that benefits from my just throwing up a press release to save me time (since the release references both this website and its publisher, how could I not?)… I will say that we’ve now heard from over 450 CRP delegates and the ratio references below has not changed…

Republican candidate for governor Steve Poizner announced today he will offer up his speaking spot at the California Republican Party convention in order to make time for a gubernatorial debate. Poizner’s decision is in response to an overwhelming number of California Republican Party delegates who have stated they would like to see a debate at the party convention in March. … Read More

I always chuckle at my Democrat friends who attempt to influence Republican primaries. The last time they tried to do it was to try and defeat Richard Riordan in the 2002 Republican primary. The Democrats ran commercials that essentially accused Richard Riordan of being pro-life and pro-gun, in other words, the Democrats accused Riordan of being a Republican. Interestingly enough, when the commercials ran, Riordan’s poll numbers started to go up among Republicans. Riordan then essentially went public and denied the commercials, that is, he told Republicans that he really wasn’t the Republican that Democrats were accusing him of being. Riordan lost the Republican primary because he denied to the Republican voters that he was a Republican. With the latest rounds of commercials that the Dems are running against Whitman, the biggest mistake Whitman can make is to respond to them. She should celebrate them.

I am a Poizner supporter. I joined Poizner because I saw Poizner at work. He actually talks to conservatives, and spent time with them. At the 2006 CRA convention, Poizner stayed the whole weekend and talked to the delegates there. They… Read More

I just sent this out to the CRP membership…

Last Saturday I wrote to you about the question that will be coming before the California Republican Party Board of Directors – whether or not to extend invitations to the Republican candidates for Governor, Attorney General and United States Senate to participate in debates at our upcoming convention next month in Santa Clara.

In that e-mail I mentioned that the Board would be voting on a proposed resolution to that effect today. I wanted to let you know that our meeting ended up not taking place today, but that will be convening for a telephonic Board meeting on Thursday morning at 8:30am.

I would like to share with you that I have heard back from nearly a quarter of the State Central Committee members, and by a staggering proportion, they would like… Read More
