Well, that was quick.
On November 5, I posted that Anaheim Republican Sue Perez was going to challenge Democratic Sen. Lou Correa’s re-election, with the backing of the state Senate GOP Caucus.
I heard on Sunday that she had decided not to run, after all, and additional calls confirmed that. I don’t know the official reason for her exit, but it’s my understanding she has some baggage that would prove damaging in mail pieces.
So it’s back to the drawing board.
One has to marvel at Sen. Correa good fortune thus far. He’s running for re-election in what is shaping up to be a terrible year for Democrats. Democratic voters are disheartened, Republicans are on fire to fight back against the cornucopia of government growth delivered by the Democrats, and independent voters have swung hard against Democratic excess. Correa’s record puts him at the epicenter of government dysfunction in California: he authored the legislation creating the 3-at-50 public safety pension benefit, which is now wreaking havoc with local government budgets.

Matt,
When I click to read the rest of the post it goes to Red County and says “You are not authorized to access this page.”
To bad about Sue Perez – was hoping for someone to give Correa a challenge.
