Day 21
[poll id=”97″]
It has been two weeks since Steven Greenhut broke the news that uber GOP consultant John Lewis had endorsed Democrat Tom Daly for the O.C. Board of Supervisors – choosing to ignore conservative Republican candidate Shawn Nelson, who is a member of the Fullerton City Council. Nelson is the only conservative running to replace Supervisor Chris Norby, who is going to term out next year.
Greenhut reminded his readers this week about this debacle. Click here to read his latest Orange Punch post, entitled “Lewis sells out conservative principles.” Ouch!
Greenhut wrote “Daly is a moderate Democrat and a very nice person and he did support Norby when Lewis was running his campaign and the whole GOP establishment was behind the horrific Cynthia Coad. But still. It’s absurd for Republican leaders to back Democrats when there are extremely good GOP candidates in the race.”
Greenhut also is writing off GOP candidate Harry Sidhu, who is a carpetbagger candidate for this seat. And he wrote that “Shawn Nelson of Fullerton has been a leading voice for limited government in his city and was even named OC’s GOP elected official of the year. Yet Lewis is backing the Democrat anyway.”
When will Matt/Jubal Cunningham tell his readers about how Lewis sold out his party and his principles? It has been two weeks since we started our countdown. Don’t hold your breath!
The silence is deafening.
Tail between leg syndrome?
This one is in the books. Jubal did not report this because he is close friends with Matt Holder (John Lewis’ towel boy)and loyal to John Lewis. Despite the fact that he would scathe any OTHER republican for doing this, Lewis gets a pass. Jubal is Lewis’ bitch and there is nothing left to discuss.
But at one point didn’t Daly have incredibly close ties to Loretta Sanchez? Shouldn’t that give him conservative credentials? 😉
Scott,
Too funny! Don’t forget that Loretta’s other early adviser was Wylie Aitken. And Jubal hired Wylie’s son to defend him after the Urell Amigos fiasco…
All in the Family!
Scott,
“All in the Family!”, you pinned the tail on the donkey. These OC influence peddlers (lobbyist that double as campaign consultants) are the same unprincipled zits courting “buddies” into and out of office.
