Orange County District Attorney
No one is challenging incumbent Tony Rackackaus, who I would never vote for anyway.

I don’t know who I will be voting for yet. I am leaning towards voting for David Lang, who currently is a Trustee on the South Orange County Community College District.

How about doing a side by side? First column your pick, second column your forecast of who will win I suspect it would show a disconnect.
Been around a while,
LOL! I don’t worry about victory. I try to support the best candidates, period. If they win, all the better.
Good call on Hector De La Torre, champion of the OC Fairgrounds! (Actually Dave Jones is just as good of a candidate, but Hector’s help in the Derailment should push him over the edge with OC voters.)
i dont know much about s.a politics . but if you get a endorsement from pedroza with his track record . RUN !!!!
These folks ARE running, you ding-dong.
Art. I knew we could agree on a candidate. Shawn Nelson for BOS “hands down”
Art – did you research Damn Dunn for Secretary of State? I am surprised that you disregarded him.
As to insurance commissioner – I suffered through John Garamendhi – DeLaTorre or Dave Jones would be leftist Broker-hating nazis just like Garamendhi was.
I am supporting Mike Villines
Where’s the love?
Aaron,
Dunn seems inexperienced and unqualified for the office.
Villines was one of the traitor Republicans who voted to raise our taxes. No thanks!
De La Torre is pretty moderate actually.
Larry,
You bet! Nelson is the man!
Art, remember that Aaron, even if he’s on our blog team right now, is an insurance guy.
From an insurance commissioner, he wants and expects “the love.”
That’s not what they’re there for bro.
FAR LEFT VERN YOU TOAD . RUN AWAY.. MEANING = RUN AWAY FROM HIM . AND IN BIG CAPS JUST FOR YOU .
Aha! Gracias para la clarificacion, mi loco amigo cubano!
I support this add; I will vote for Cecilia Iglesias this November 2010 elections and will definetely spread the word.
Hector de la Torre is a good man who helped take down South Gate’s own Miguel Pulido, Alberto Robles! But I’m surprised you’re going with Hunter, Art, given the Carona apologists have flocked to him! Not that the other choices are any better…
garcias vern haaaaaaaa
I’m supporting Dave Jones as Insurance Commissioner, although Hector dela Torre would also be an excellent choice. If you own an insurance company and only care about your profits you should vote for a Republican. If you own an insurance policy you should vote for a Democrat!
Mickey Kaus is jumping in the bathtub with Fiorian. He is all wet if he thinks his values are Democrats or Californians. Senator Boxer is a champion for all California. She fights with all her might for us. I like many will do the same for her!
You’re right, Karen, about Kaus. He’s as DINO as they come, as a blogger he was constantly backing Bush on almost everything. But I’m not too worried about Boxer losing the primary, so Art can go ahead and endorse Kaus. It’s uncool for non-Democrats to admit they like B-Box, but she really is one of the best people in the Senate.
Great call on Hector de la torre! I am saddened you have not chosen a Public Administrator candidate……. I have worked in the office prior and know for certain I am NOT choosing Williams and of course psycho Rocco is out. That leaves two choices……Vann or Callahan. I am choosing Callahan, having worked with both of them Callahan has the most experience. Hope that helps all of you undecided out there!!!
Kevin Vann for Public Administrator.
I have meet him and walked some lititure with him for Phu, he has earned my support.
I still like Kevin Vann, I’m working on a post about him. But then I’m getting concerned that so many people who are aware of incumbent PA John Williams’ corruption are instead voting for Colleen Callahan. It makes you wonder, as with Gary Miller, if Williams is encouraging people to run against him to dilute the anti-Williams vote.
But then, it shouldn’t really work, as it would with Gary Miller. Because our only goal is to keep Williams from getting 50% in June – then he’ll go one-on-one against either Vann or Callahan (or Rocco – hey! are Vann and Callahan really splitting the anti-Rocco vote???)
This seems like not so much a list of primary endorsements, as a list of people Art would like to vote for in the general. Most of them are running unopposed in the primary!
And the First Supervisorial District race is not a partisan race. Now I’ve heard more and more about Shawn, enough to make me say that ALL the candidates suck. (Or, in the case of Rose E, have no chance.) So this is my brand new endorsement for that race (if I lived up there)
WRITE IN JANE RANDS!
What do you mean “write in Jane Rands”? I hope you don’t mean to suggest that she is a write-in candidate. She is running unopposed, on the ballot as the Green Party candidate for the 72nd Assembly.
I just meant, off the top of my head, that she would be a better choice for Supervisor than Shawn Nelson, Harry Sidhu, Lorrie Galloway or Rose Espinoza. I forgot she was already running for assembly.
But that won’t come up until my November picks anyway! Right now I’m just looking at contested primaries (in MY piece.)
I’m voting for Nelson… Vern Nelson, that is… and the Great One, whoever he is. Great One for Governor and Vern for Congress.
Thank you Lam. One little wrinkle: My first act in Congress will be to prevent elderly racist Cubans who can’t read or write English from being California governors. So I think you’ll have to choose between me and the Grate One.
Vern, I need both you and the great one in office so to keep in other in balance:))
Anyway, Vern, could you post something regarding our governor’s latest budget proposal? I think it came out on Friday. Lots to talk about there.
We could save a bundle on the state budget if we didn’t haved to fund Obamacare in future years. Help stop it NOW!
