Maddox says the Democrats have no reason to love him – wrong again!

The word from the John Campbell camp is that their opponent for the 35th State Senate seat, Ken Maddox, told the Daily Pilot the other day that the Democrats have no reason to be particularly fond of him, or something to that effect. What is Maddox smoking? I sat in front of a union organizer a few months ago and asked him what he thought of Republican candidates in general. Predictably, he said he didn’t like them. But you should have seen his eyes light up when I mentioned Maddox. Oh, he said, we like him. And they have good reason to. Time and again Maddox has sided with the Democrats in the State Assembly and voted against Republican interests. He also is infamous for his support of the Orange County PLA (project labor agreement). He now says that former Assembly leader Curt Pringle told him to support the PLA. The ultimate irony is that Pringle is now backing Campbell. The moral of the story: if you sell out your principles, even the weasels who do that for a living will ultimately abandon you.
