U.S. Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign today announced that former California Secretary of State Bill Jones will serve as chairman of the Arizona Senator’s campaign in the state of California.

As chairman, Jones will take the lead on Senator McCain’s political outreach and use his years of statewide experience on major issues to help advise a successful statewide effort.

Bill Jones served as California’s Secretary of State from 1995 to 2003 where he was widely credited for the success of his groundbreaking election and campaign finance reforms. Jones served in the California State Assembly from 1983 to 1995 where he was elected Republican leader in the assembly in 1991. A respected leader on agricultural and water issues, Jones also successfully authored California’s famous "Three Strikes and You’re Out" tough on crime law (Proposition 184). Bill Jones was elected as the state’s Republican Party nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2004.

The UC College Republicans continue to undermine the Politically Correct crowd by engaging in political theater.These games are led by newly elected CCR state chairman Ryan Clumpner.

There really hasn’t been good political theater since the 60’s on campuses. The Left is dead among student everywhere, except among the hardened remorseless tenured Marxists.

The theater will feature a "friendly" game of capture the flag [ American?]. The teams are between the "illegals" vs. ICE [ or La Migra]. The rules are as follows:

1. Illegals must outnumber ICE members. 2. ICE must tie their hands behind their backs. 3. ICE must play defense at all times. 4. "Amnesty" will be granted to all tagged Illegals. 5. all other rules apply only to ICE.

The event is in response to an “Immigrant Rights Classroom Walkout” organized by campus leftists on May Day.

The game is May 1at 12:00 noon on the Memorial Union patio, at UC Davis.

Let the games begin in all campuses.… Read More

Board of Equalization Member Michelle Steel has a good piece in this week’s “Asian Week,” talking about the growing trend of Asian-American candidates succeeding as Republicans, and of Republican leaders successfully reaching out to Asian-American voters.

"From Orange County to San Jose, Asian American candidates are registering voters, raising money for voter education, and winning state and local elections — as Republicans."… Read More

In the United States the idea that an Anglo candidate could represent a heavily Hispanic or black district has became impossible. Even the Supreme Court and Department of Justice said so. That led to even more gerrymandering of district based on race. Many black organizations fueled this racial divide, by conducting campaigns on racial themes. But what happens when your district changes color and not party? This is happening in large parts of LA. Many previously “black” districts are becoming more Latino than black. The special election in the 37th Congressional District is such an election. Black Congressional leaders are trying to make sure a … Read More

During the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard a new name talked about as a en trant into the AD60 GOP primary sweepstakes: Tim Escobar.

Escobar was the 2002 GOP nominee in the 39th Congressional District, when he faced off against now-Rep. Linda Sanchez in her first Congressional election. Sanchez beat him 54.9% to 40.8% (52,256 to 38,925). It should be noted the district registration was a 54% Democratic and 28% Republican, so Escobar ran well ahead of GOP registration while holding Sanchez to Democratic registration, and raised approximately $220,000.

Today’s Guest Commentary is penned by Hector Barajas is Communications Director for the California Republican Party…

As the California State Democrat Party concluded its annual convention, it is clear that the parade of speeches that filled the convention halls of San Diego offered no more than obscure and recycled promises that Californians have grown tired of hearing.

“Commander in Chief” candidates continue their finger pointing and apology tour. As with the South Carolina debate, seven of the eight presidential candidates that attended the San Diego convention spent their time pointing fingers, apologizing, and trying to find out who would be the first to abandon the people of Iraq.
