If you are in Orange County Tuesday night and want to party down with fellow Republicans, come to the Republican Party of Orange County Election Night Party at the OC GOP HQ.

The party is for Republican volunteers and activists and donors–people who actually did something this election cycle. Hopefully, actually walked a precinct or at least wrote a check to the party or one of the initiatives. There is no litmus test, but if you just show up to events like this and never do any of the heavy lifting (and you know who you are) it shows.

WHAT: OC GOP Election Night Party

WHEN: Tuesday, November 8 8pm – Midnight

WHERE: Republican Party HQ 1800 W Katalla Avenune – Suite 210 … Read More

Santa Ana Councilman Jose Solorio recently announced his intension to run for the 69th Assembly District at the Laborers’ Union Hall. His campaign says they raised $50,000 that night. His council campaign was able to transfer another $50,000 into the Assembly account putting Solorio over the 100k make.

Solorio sent out a release today including the statement that "…the people will win and Schwarzenegger will lose!" in Tuesday’s election. If you hadn’t known or guessed, the 69th is a solidly Dem seat (for now) held by Tom Umberg.

Solorio, a well liked elected official, serves as his city’s representative on the Orange County Water District and works full-time for the Orange County Transportation Authority. Solorio’s Latino background is a plus in the district, but doesn’t guarantee anything (white-bread Umberg beat Claudia… Read More

Bening, Alda, Beatty, Dreyfuss, Douglas, Sheen, Sorkin and Meathead…in Fantasyland Yesterday afternoon, I had the fortune to see Annette Bening. I was leaving the Governor’s Anaheim Hills rally (read about that here and here) and holding court outside was the CTA bus, captained by Union-Thug-In-Chief Barbara Kerr. Aboard the "S.S. Dues Extraction" (my name for their bus) was also the Hollywood dynamic duo, Annette Bening and her ersatz-politican husband, Warren Beatty.

It was only later that I connected some very odd dots (this post demonstrates the strange way that my mind works). I recalled when… Read More

This morning in my Commentary, you can take a few minutes to read how my opportunity to see Annette Benning and Warren Beatty yesterday, and reading an article about Alan Alda (well, his West Wing character), took me on an fun trip through Hollywood, and some amazingly liberal entertainment types and their donation histories and more…

I will be working election night on Newstalk 580, KMJ from 8:00 pm until we find out the definitive results for all the major ballot initiative. Former Democrat Congressman Rick Lehman will be opposite me on this highly rated, Fresno based program. Newstalk 580 reaches from Red Bluff to the North out to Bakersfield and Santa Maria on the Central Coast. Although I hope the contrary is true, Tuesday could be a long night for the conservative team in California, and could also be the start of some important new strategies to consider against the evil empire in California, namely the public employee unions and their wholly owned subsidiary, California Democrats, Inc. Stay tuned.… Read More

Here at Pacific Transformer Company in Anaheim Hills where Governer Schwarzenegger is giving a rousing speech to hundreds of supporters of Props. 74, 75, 76 and 77. The Governor was introduced by Orange County Sheriff (and my boss) Mike Carona.

If the energy here is indicative of the electorate…we may see some big wins this Tuesday!

Well, I’m going to go try and be important and hang out with Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, former Party Chairman Shawn Steel and others!

Oh yeah…props to the National Federation of Independent Business for putting this great rally spot together!… Read More

In his post below, Jon noted Warren and Annette being refused entrance to this morning’s San Diego kick-off of Arnold’s bus tour. Nothing speaks to the "power couple’s" utter frustration like this AP photo and accompanying caption, posted atwww.signonsandiego.com:

The moral of the story: If you want to be governor, you first have to run.

As for other news from SD, nothing says it as well as the missive just received from the County GOP, so I won’t try:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked… Read More
