I slept like a baby through last night’s episode of The Endless Primary Show. I couldn’t take any more sadness about Ted Kennedy or China. I have been suffering through this head cold from hell since I got back home from going to Carole Migden’s house party. It started with a sore throat, and […]

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, […]

On Thursday, May 8th, Marin Organizing Committee held an Action Assembly at St. Raphael Church in San Rafael. This event was the organization’s first and drew record standing room only crowds.

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.

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 […]

BUSTED! I had already talked about Carole Migden’s campaign fund problem – 89 campaign finance violations.
Yesterday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that State Senator Carole Migden has been fined and has agreed to pay $350,000, the highest penalty against a candidate for state office. Today, it will be up to at least 3 of […]

In what seems like an endless array of debates, primary caucuses and elections, and twists of political punditry and spin, we are faced with yet another primary election in three states plus a Texas Two-Step.
