I received the following from Allen Wilson on the bus tour. Allen is a dedicated GOP Activist.
I like to report to you about the Governor’s campaign stop in Pico Rivera at Mario Taco’s, famous eatry among Pico Rivera residents. As you know that I am Co-Chair, Victory ’06 Los Angeles County/San Gabriel Valley, I wanted to be there. Though, I was given 3 hours notice about this event, which was about 11:00 am this morning.
The Governor made a splashing appearance and was very well received by the people in this heavingly hispanic community. Alot of the attendees, including Democrats, were surprised by his visit and made comments that even though they know he is a Republican and he could have gone to Orange County, but now I will vote for him. There were about 500 people in attendance. All the key local networks were there (Channel 2, 4, 7, 9 and 11), including several Spanish speaking stations and even a reporter from the Chinese Daily News showed up.
The Governor appreciated the hospitality at the eatry. Also, he went on to talked about the Mayor being a Democrat, but stressed that this election is not just about Democrats or Republicans, but moving California forward. The Mayor of Pico Rivera supports the Governor and gave him the City’s plaque and the Key of the City.

Was the owner of Mario’s Tacos on hand to explain why he might be supporting liberal Democrats for local legislative seats? The same Democrats that will do their best to thwart Schwarzenegger at every turn?
