And, if you look up the leadership of the Family Action PAC here’s an interesting entry you’ll find:

Jim Righeimer

Co-Founder, Family Action PAC; Chairman of Orange County Housing Commission; City of Costa Mesa Planning Commission; Orange County Airport Land Use Commissioner; Campaign Chairman for Congressman Dana Rohrabacher; Co- Author, Prop 226 “Paycheck Protection.”

Yep, it’s that same fella that Mansoor appointed to the Planning Commission even though he’d only lived in Costa Mesa for a few months.

I guess this post may be taken as being about as stupid as phoning in a “no opinion” answer to a poll on TV. However, as a CM resident who has watched Foley and Mansoor over the last few years I have to say BOTH are good choices-it just depends on your political leanings. Mansoor is far outclassed by Foley in intellect but will have a strong appeal to those who think the various public unions are grossly overpaid. Foley seems to want to give them everything. I go for Mansoor on this. However, Mansoor is very cold towards programs for our youth and Foley is a champion of youth programs. I go with Foley on this. Mansoor seems like a puppet of the Republican machine and hoisted Jim Righeimer on us Costa Mesans and I dislike this relationship. Yet if Mansoor wins maybe he will take Righeimer with him and they both will be gone from our city. I like that scenario the best. I would miss Foley, she is good theatre even when I feel she is dead wrong. So in the end, let’s keep Foley and get rid of Mansoor and Righeimer. Good luck Allan!

I think I disagree (half) with you on this Art. Mansoor will fail to win the Republican ticket. That’s for a Vietnamese fellow. Katrina is an electrifying politician, and well liked in many areas of the 68th Assembly District. If she decides to run, I think she’ll get the Democratic ticket, and might be able to win it all. I guess we need to convince her to run. That’s gonna be tough.

#2,

Yowza! Hadn’t heard that one. That would be interesting if proven true.

Don’t forget that the OC GOP has been rife with such hypocritical behavior for years…so this would not exactly set a precedent.

Why would Family PAC support a homosexual?

An inspiring choice, should encourage other Dems to get in the race. This could make it interesting in both the primary and general.
