Then that left the door open for janet. And with the help of the usual suspects, Phil Becrra, Chris Prevatt, Claudio Gallegos, Melahat, and Alicia, janet had no resistance and feathered her nest even further by having a free hand in getting Andrew Do elected.

Could this be the reason why Lou has thumbed his nose at the Party, ran for Senate and left a vacancy at the Board of Supervisor’s? He single handidly empowered the Vietnamese Community whose political power can only grow and now threatens two seats (Congressional and Senate).

I foree the Democrats losing more seats in 2010.

You guys must have some good stories about wacky campaigns.

My favorite up until this was one of Jack Scott’s up in Pasadena where he was running a good campaign with a comfortable lead, clearly the better candidate, when at the eleventh hour the Indians hit him with a half dozen hate mailer hit pieces. Apparently Jack had voted against or spoken against gambling and they waited and sandbagged him at the last minute in his next campaign. Jack won but I’d never seen anything like that. Completely out of the blue.

I always find it ironic and amusing the abuse heaped upon him by these individuals and groups only to receiev their help later on.

In hindsight, the best option would have been to leave that race to its own ends. However, the consesus at the time was that an outright win by janet in that race would have left her free to run candidates in other races to shore up her influence and essentially become the very person that sends shockwaves of fear through Prevatts jelly like spine. Essentially janet has become the new van Tran.

This was stoked and made exponentially worse by Chris’ handler Phil Becerra who poked and prodded Prevattt and sent him into a frenzy with coordinated attacks on Hoa Van Tran with marc Sussman, and Prevattt. Other Prevatt handlers placed spies in Hoas office to undermine him as a means of revenge on Edgardo.

Note that Courtney Rychel who filed a police report claiming that Edgardo ran her off the road has come to an agreement to walk away from her charges and the lawsuit. The whole thing was a myth. A false police report was filed. Now Im not a lawyer of a Deputy DA; But I think that is a felony. To conspire to fabricate such a story and to so far as file a police report I believe is a felony.

Hoa Van Tran made some serous mistakes. But they were ameatuer mistakes that any first time candidate could easily make. Notice the difference between Prevatts hounding of Hoa on his campaign finance reports, and his treatment of Janet for essentially the same issue(s).

I have never defended Edgardo. And I do not plan to. What I have always maintained is that to wage a Proxy war that basically cleared the path for janet and resulted in her having a free hand to get Andrew Do elected is a serious issue.

To that end, does anyone remember Prevatt calling into question Andrew Do’s residency issues? What I am getting at is that the lack of ccriticism of candidates and issues in an equal fashion is tantamount to a defacto endorsement of these candidates and their behavior.

To be sure there were many things at play in regards to the support for Janet by the DPOC folks.

Alicia Berhow was clearly working on behalf of the Orange County Business Council which supported Janet. It was clearly a conflict for her to be involved in the DPOC’s endorsement committee while working for OCBC which supported Janet.

Alicia’s pocketbook clearly was at play while she worked furiously to have Hoa stripped of the party’s endorsement. An effort in which she and her lackies failed I might add.

Melahat on the other hand was driven by her hatred of Edgardo Reynoso, Lou Correa’s brother-in-law and Hoa’s campaign manager.

It was Melahat that sent Misha and Courtney to destroy Hoa’s campaign from the inside. In doing so it benefitted Janet.

“The planner” is a well known Jannie and he just did what he does best, try and stir the pot and poison the well. Just look at his actions in regards to Michele Martinez as well as his underhanded attempts to go after other councilmembers.

These folks are all Jannies, albeit for different reasons.

Now that we have seen Janet Nguyen in action, you have to wonder if Hoa Van Tran was not the better candidate…

Now I have always maintained that if he chooses to support janet Nguyen, that is fine and nothing technically wrong with that. But he should have the guts to stand up and say that outright.

I would invite all readers to review Chris’ posts at Lib OC to compare for yourselves the tone and timber of chris’ handling of janet nguyen. Its a good academic exercise for developing your journalistic intelligence and critical thinking skills to better digest your consumption of blogosphere content.

Sean,
The celebration is that the Democrats did not elect an unqualified and incomperent idiot to the Board of Supervisors. While for me Janet was a bad candidate to represent the views that progressives, liberals, and Democrats beileve in; she was far better than the other two choices.
I do not believe that Democrats should act like sheep and vote for a candidate based upon a D after their name or whose brother-in-law is running a campaign. The need to vote for the best of those on the ballot. Unfortunately, sometimes that may not be the Democrat.

Either way, I think Janet will be in a race for Trans seat or for Lorettas seat simply because she can do it and keep her BOS Seat. Its a free ride. Lou will have a lot of making up to do if he wishes to get the support of Labor and the DPOC. Both groups are feeling buyers remorse with Lou and may very well stand out of Janets way should she go after him.

The Jannies in the DPOC will have a perplexing situation on their hands for sure.
