Here’s the new ad starring Congressman Tom McClintock, making a compelling case for Assemblyman Chuck DeVore’s candidacy for the United States Senate. Look for this video to travel far and wide on the web — as to whether it gets up on broadcast and cable television, that will be up to DeVore’s fundraising push in the final weeks of the campaign…
Below I blog about Steve Poizner’s new web ad highlighting the growth of eBay’s porn marketplace under Meg Whitman’s leadership. Web ads with these highly funded campaigns are significant because they can (and do) turn into TV spots in some cases (the piece airing now by Poizner on Whitman’s voting record was first seen as a web-only ad).
I reached out to the Whitman campaign to get their response to Poizner’s eBay/Porn attack, and this is what we got from campaigns spokesman Dan Comstock…
"Is Steve Poizner seriously trying to tell us that eBay is a pornography site? eBay’s millions of users, including my grandmother, will find that a little hard to believe. Steve Poizner is desperate. He lacks momentum. He lacks grassroots support. Most of all, he lacks honesty. The only pornography in this race is the obscene act of watching a liberal like Steve Poizner try to pretend he’s a conservative." … Read More
I just got this via e-mail from Julie Soderlund over at Carly Fiorina’s U.S. Senate Campaign. The timing was good because I just had read where Tom Campbell had been canceling television buys…
From Julie… Over here at Team Carly, while we are watching our ads on the airwaves increase in frequency, reports over the last couple of days confirm that Tom Campbell has canceled his television AND his radio time – all of it – for this week. The Campbell camp is exhaling a lot of hot air as they struggle to come up with any good reason for why, but we sure have been amused by the excuses so far: … Read More
Former Vice President Dick Cheney today endorsed the candidacy of Meg Whitman for Governor. You can read his lengthy column in today’s Orange County Register which was as notable for his glowing praise of Whitman as its harsh words for Whitman’s primary opponent, Steve Poizner.
In conjunction with the announcement of Cheney’s support, the Whitman campaign has unleashed pre-recorded messages from Vice President Cheney to Republican primary voters. In the all-positive call, Cheney calls Whitman the "clear conservative choice…"
Cheney is a favorite of most conservatives, thus this a significant "third party endorsement" of Whitman.
You can listen to Cheney’s message below…… Read More
The Sunday roundup from around the region… Docs Weigh in for Wells in AD 77… In what has been a fairly quiet race to succeed Assemblyman Joel Anderson in the 77th District (at least compared to what I’m used to in prior Steve Baldwin, Jay La Suer and Anderson dust-ups), things may finally be getting interesting. The California Medical Association yesterday filed a late independent expenditure report to the tune of over $19,500 for a mailer in support of Bill Wells, as he vies against Brian Jones and Christine Rubin.
The amount may not jump out as that significant, but in a race where fundraising has been on the low side, it may be huge indeed(cash-on-hand for the three contenders was in the 25-30k range thru March 17).
Additionally, in the last couple of days, I’ve received two mailers from Jones and one from Wells. All positive…thus far.
Please toss me a note, if you see anything of interest in… Read More
I think it’s close enough to Election Day to start posting what political mail I received. I’ll start with this weekend:
* Gubernatorial candidate Whitman “Tough as Nails” about illegal immigration (good piece, clear)
* Yes on Proposition 16 (good piece, clear)
* California Voter Guide “Leadership for California” (above US Senate candidate Fiorina it says ‘Sarah Palin says: vote for Carly”)… Read More
The new Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, is quickly achieving legendary status… Need to know why? Check out this "confrontation" between Governor Christie and a liberal MSM reporter… Simply awesome.
Gov Christie calls S-L columnist thin-skinned for inquiring about his ‘confrontational tone’ … Read More
We happily share conservative icon Tom McClintock’s recommendations each election. These are straight from his own blog… McClintock On the Propositions: Prop. 13. Seismic Retrofits. YES: Earthquake proofing your house shouldn’t trigger a tax increase until you’re ready to sell. Any questions? Prop. 14. Distorted Primary. NO: This was the result of the corrupt deal for the tax increase… Read More
