Loretta Sanchez doubles down on racism

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 21st at 02:00 PM  | 

It’s clear that these lefty writers are no friends of law, order, and American values, given their clear amusement at the widely known fact that Loretta Sanchez stole her first election against Bob Dornan. The spirit of their use of “Trannies” as a way to mock Van Tran‘s supporters should be noticed, as well. Ah, the tolerant left. They respect the LGBT community alright, but | Read More »

It’s not us who should be afraid about California

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 20th at 04:00 PM  | 

Last month there was a real shift in the California Senate polling. After the primary Babs Boxer was terribly underperforming her past elections, but she was at least ahead consistently. But starting in August, Carly Fiorina started taking leads. Some say that the new PPP poll is reason to worry, but I don’t. PPP is a generally honest, reliable pollster in my experience, but that | Read More »

QotD, Not Senator Ma’am’s Day Edition.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 19th at 01:45 PM  | 

So, there has been a veritable litany of bad stimulus-related news lately for California: 12.4% unemployment 110 million in stimulus money in LA = 55 jobs, thanks to, of course, red tape National trust in the administration’s ability to help the economy now underwater, 30/33 …and Barbara Boxer’s reaction?  It would’ve been worse without the stimulus (not a direct quote*).  Which caused ABC7 political analyst | Read More »

Support Jeff Denham in California’s 19th Congressional District

By: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Diary)  |  September 17th at 02:50 PM  | 

The Young Guns book tour has been going very well in helping to promote our movement to bring new common-sense conservative leaders to Congress. For instance, Reps. Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and I were on Sean Hannity’s show and on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. We also stopped by the offices of National Review, and had a very good discussion with Rich Lowry. Let me also note | Read More »

Barbara Boxer: Failure

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 16th at 07:59 PM  | 

P.S.: Carly Fiorina.

Boxer doing triage in California?

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 13th at 11:00 PM  | 

The word “triage” keeps coming up in talk of Democrat strategy lately, as the Democrats have to give up seats or even whole states for dead, leaving candidates to fend for themselves (presumably to fail). Barbara Boxer is continuing that trend. She has a new television ad out, which the Sacramento Bee points out is running in “the Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San | Read More »

Moonbeam Brown (D CAND, CA-GOV) opens mouth, attacks… CLINTON?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 13th at 03:00 PM  | 

Wait, what? A quote from the video: “Meg Whitman. She stops at nothing. She’s even got Clinton lying about me. That’s right.” Note the tense, there… and, yes, that’s what Brown really said. And a little while later he went on to mock Bill Clinton by saying “I did not have taxes with that state.” I assume that Brown wants to win the California gubernatorial | Read More »

Nick Popaditch for Congress

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 11th at 10:13 AM  | 

Nick Popaditch is running for Congress. Previous occupation? Gunnery Sergeant, USMC. That patch he wears? Not preparing for Talk like a Pirate day, but rather a wound at Fallujah. His district? California’s 51st. Oh yes, that district. Inland California tends to be right-leaning, but Imperial County is one big exception. It’s a poor expanse of desert along the Mexican border stretching from Arizona to San | Read More »

California’s politics, free speech, and video games.

By: Joshua Trevino (Diary)  |  September 10th at 06:23 AM  | 

November 2nd, 2010, will be a big day in American history. It’s the day we vote in the midterm elections that will likely see historic Republican gains in both houses of Congress. It’s also the day that the United States Supreme Court considers the case of Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association. This case stems from a 2005 California law that prohibited the sale of “unsuitable” | Read More »

Boxer pot aide should have gone with different drug.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 9th at 08:58 AM  | 

You have probably read or heard by now that one of Senator Barbara Boxer’s used-to-be-senior-aides got busted for trying to bring pot into Capitol Hill.  I say ‘used-to-be’ because they fired him, of course: aside from the bad image generally, as the Politico article notes Sen. Boxer is currently being a War on Some Drugs warrior when it comes to pot legalization.  Now, I will | Read More »

Sometimes a candidate is more than we expect

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 8th at 10:00 AM  | 

During the California Senate primary, my major criticisms of Carly Fiorina were that she had no public track record to back her on the issues, and that as a novice campaigner she was liable to make mistakes and lose a winnable race. During the race I didn’t quite give her the Tom Campbell treatment, but I gave Chuck DeVore all the support I could. During | Read More »

Understanding Carly Fiorina

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  September 7th at 12:17 PM  | 

We endorsed Chuck DeVore in the GOP California Senate primary over Carly Fiorina. We did so because of DeVore’s proven record of staunch conservatism — which he continues fighting for now, having just helped kill a California open-carry ban — but also because we didn’t really trust or know anything about Fiorina. Carly’s conservative record was thin to nonexistent, and there were many troubling signs | Read More »

Van Tran for Congress

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 6th at 03:30 PM  | 

California’s 47th Congressional District isn’t one of the ones getting national attention this year, but it should be. Loretta Sanchez may not be one of the most hated Democrats in Washington, but the circumstances surrounding her initial electoral “victory” are so shady that she has no business being there. She’s been kept in office thanks to California’s lockdown gerrymandering, but somehow her seat is still | Read More »

Rasmussen on California: Whitman and Boxer up

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 26th at 02:00 PM  | 

Rasmussen Reports has two new polls out: one on the race for Governor between Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman, and the other on the Senate race between Democrat Barbara Boxer and Republican Carly Fiorina. I don’t think the results they show are compatible. If one is right, I think the other is wrong.

Tech at Night: California, Net Neutrality, Google, Verizon, Oracle, Software Patents

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 25th at 11:59 PM  | 

Good evening. Yes, I’m late again on Tech at Night. Even later than I was on Monday in fact. But instead of scolding me, let’s take out our anger on Democrats like Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown for threatening California’s long-established high tech leadership. More and more companies and their good, high-paying jobs are fleeing the state. Green tech firms, medical supply firms, information service | Read More »
