Tomorrow, in Sacramento, the Commonwealth Club of California is hosting an hour-long forum on whether or not the California Republican Party should allow Decline-To-State voters to cast ballots in the GOP Presidential primary.

There are four panelists — representing the school of thought that DTS voters should be allowed will be former CRP Chairman Duf Sundheim and former Secretary of State Bruce McPherson, and representing the opposite point of view will be Assembly Elections Committee Vice Chairman Anthony Adams and… me!

There are still a few seats available for what promises to be an entertaining program. If you are interested in attending, here is the location (right next to the Capitol): Library and Courts Building, Room 500, 914 Capitol Mall.

If you would like to attend, RSVP here. The remaining seats will undoubtedly go quickly..… Read More

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can cause permanent damage…

As reported in the Victor Valley Daily Press, San Bernardino County Talk 960 talk radio host Barb Stanton was placed on “indefinite suspension” for a live on-air tirade that many in her media market characterized as racially-inflammatory. Read about it here. Stanton engaged in referring to members of the San Bernardino County’s growing Asian-American community as not being “real Americans” and stated that she didn’t want to see “Chinese faces” when patronizing area businesses.

Understandably, listeners throughout the region were justifiably angered at the on-air tirade directed at Americans of Asian heritage – particularly self-described conservatives who understand Stanton’s seeping generalization goes against the principle of individualism. Furthermore,… Read More

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.

I have confirmed that Mike Radlovic has dropped out of the race for the 60th Assembly District. Mike Radlovic, past chair of the San Gabriel Valley Lincoln Club and the runner up to Bob Pacheco in the 1998 race for the seat (It was open primary, Huff came in third) Mike would have been a formidable candidate. See here. His ability to self-fund and his long history of GOP involvement were obvious pluses. Apparently, he had locked up political consultant Jim Nygren. Nygren helped Huff to an upset in this race four years ago. He let him go. Nygren has since signed on with Curt Hagman. See my post on him here.

Other candidates include Larry Dick, who has sources say raised over 60K at a recent fundraiser. The first financials in this race will be interesting. Other possible candidates… Read More

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
