“A new arm of O.C.’s Republican Party charges incumbents $200 if they want a shot at an early nod. Some consider it a shakedown.”
This is a shakedown. I wish Tim Whitacre would write in more detail about the practice. Lance McLain from M.V. was told to pay to play then did not get the nod because he once had a Dem.’s (in a non-part. race) yard sign in his yard. But O.C. Rep. party thinks it’s just dandy to ask volunteers to make phone calls for Gov. Arnold who spends he weekends hanging out with Fabian Nunez. Any Rep who gives one dime to Arnold or spends 5 sec.’s making phone calls is a fool!
