Tom Daly now primed to run for Bill Campbell’s seat in 2012

Congratulations John Lewis and Matt Cunningham.  Democrat Tom Daly, a career political hack, is now in prime position to run for Supervisor Bill Campbell’s seat in 2012, when Campbell finally terms out.

Daly, who was reelected as O.C. Clerk-Recorder, has two years to move further east into Anaheim Hills, and into Campbell’s third district.

The plan will be for the GOP vote to be split, which won’t take much prodding.  Guaranteed that there will be multiple Republican candidates – they will split the red vote and put Daly in office.

Lewis snatched up dozens of Republican slate mailers in Daly’s reelection campaign, fooling the voters into thinking that Daly was the Republican candidate.  The real GOP candidate was Hugh Nguyen.

What about Harry Sidhu?  Poor Harry got fooled by Supervisor Janet Nguyen.  She, Campbell and Lewis prodded him to run against Shawn Nelson, as a carpetbagger.  It was a stupid plan and it backfired on Tuesday, in the primary. 

Sidhu will get creamed in November, by Nelson, in the run-off, and he will be done in politics, paving the way for Daly to ascend to Daly’s seat.
