People think I can be mean but she makes me look like Spongebob Squarepants by comparison. A few years before I left Boston, Ted Kennedy took his seat for granted and barely campaigned. He almost lost to a newcomer. Strange things happen in politics that can change a race <i>completely</i>, and literally overnight. I'm just playing devil's advocate here. SMS Larry -

I just don’t like her. People think I can be mean but she makes me look like Spongebob Squarepants by comparison. A few years before I left Boston, Ted Kennedy took his seat for granted and barely campaigned. He almost lost to a newcomer. Strange things happen in politics that can change a race completely, and literally overnight.

I’m just playing devil’s advocate here.

What are you smoking? Mimi will not screw up and will retain the 33rd SD seat as long as she wishes to up to Term Limits. That's one prediction I am comfortable making. PS: She is our new state Senator and will do her best to represent south county in our Democratic controlled legislature. Sarah. What are you smoking?

You don't have much faith in Gary Pritchard, do you Art? :P Sorry Gary/Heather. I actually really like you guys. May I provide some free advice? Heather, deciding to stop blogging didn't help your husband. You are easily an asset to his campaign and should continue to fight for him on the internet. He may not win, but you never know, Mimi might screw up big time and you can organize a recall. I really don't think she'll retain the seat for long. But that's just my opinion.

He proved as a state senator that he's not a real Republican. Here's what Ackerman needs to hear: voters and taxpayers have had enough of you. Art is correct about Ken Maddox, but maybe Ken could use his police background to get a job as a security guard with the Keystone Cops.

Our Libertarian, fiscal conservative pals Michelle and Shawn have made "The Board of Equalization" seat into a real barn burner. They have a great newsletter and they let everyone know what is happening. Michelle has created an activist position that will certainly launch her into higher office if she wants it. Dick Ackerman must have a big lump in his throat as he launches a campaign for basically a "Non-Partisan Office". He will have plenty of money....but what do think he is going to spend it on? The attacks on Shawn have already begun. This is going to be a very bloody battle...or could go that way. Our opinion is that Ackerman will suddenly have a change of heart and withdrawn before the election....that is: if he is smart! We like Lori Saldana..only because she answers our e-mails..and seems fairly bright on most issues. Sad that term limits are finally having the positive effect intended on the system and Public Office jobs are narrowing the options for "out of work politicians"! Whew..this is a big deal!
