There is most excellent news to report. Proposition 98 went down in defeat and it was really not even close. Statewide 61% voted no. Marin county voted no 67.3%, Sonoma 69%, and San Francisco voted no with a whopping 74.67%. Apparently, 99 was fine winning statewide by 62.5%. Marin county voted yes on 99 by […]

Double-endorsing is the New Endorsement
According to Northbayist, Mark Leno is claiming that my Supervisor, Susan Adams has endorsed him, and Carole Migden has Susan as an endorser. In an earlier post, I pointed out an article that has Susan announcing that she is endorsing Joe Nation, but it appears that there are two Susan Adams, […]

Things I am working on while I am being a soccer mom, host to my mother-in-law, and backlogged on my laundry.

- Video of Friday, May 9th State Senate Debate
- Observations from the Fundraisers (need to attend a Migden gathering to be fair)

Woolsey previously endorsed Carole Migden, now she is double endorsing for…wait for it…wait for it…Anybody but Joe Nation. That’s cold. One of my favorite political blogs, Liberal Values, posts a Clinton quote from USA Today that made my jaw drop.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an […]

Let me tell you a story that can begin to explain my indecisiveness in the CD-3 State Senate race.
It was the year the Pope got shot, and I was a Catholic School girl at Notre Dame High school  in Belmont, California. A classmate and I in our uniforms decided to skip school and go to […]

The best way not to sit around nervously all day browsing politics blogs all day in anticipation of election returns is to go to the Zoo. While it seems that half the San Francisco Zoo appears to be closed, under construction, or just poorly maintained — I got some exercise with my family and I […]

When national and local politics collide or when Clinton supporters and Obama supporters collide it feels like a B-Sci-fi-flick.
I was invited by Mark Leno’s people to join them for a fund raiser, and I went as an observer as I had not endorsed any candidate (still haven’t).
Prior this event, I read Dick Spotwood’s article about […]

Each candidate for State Senate got a 2 minute opening statement. In their opening statements each candidate really established their differences early. Joe Nation focused on education and jobs, but also local issues up here in the North Bay like the Rohnert Park casino proposal. He pledged to never vote to suspend Proposition 98, an […]

Evelyn Woo and everyone at the 6th Assembly District Democrats Club should really pat themselves on the back for putting together last night’s State Senate Forum at College of Marin. Joe Nation, Mark Leno, and Carole Migden all showed up last night and the evening really did give you the feel for each candidate.

I am thinking about who I should vote and endorse for our California State Senator. At this point I think the race is between Mark Leno and Joe Nation. Carole Migden is pretty much toast, in my humble opinion. Her pleading no contest to reckless driving made her vulnerable to being challenged for her […]

[First of all I want to apologize for a database error that wiped the original version of this post away. I am not sure what happened, but my post on wireless cafe’s wiped out the Woolsey article with a comment. My initial attempts to correct did not seem to do the trick. I think I […]
