Senator Alarcon NEVER fired him, he worked from February through July and left the office 2 days before he filed to run for office so once again you are WRONG. <BR/><BR/>How do I know this? Because I asked the Senator personally and reviewed his work records while looking into this allegation for a potential story. If a candidate for public office would have been fired by a Legislator, we would have printed that. <BR/><BR/>For the record, the story I got was that Senator Alarcon "fought" to keep Jim on but in the end he left. There are many rumors and plenty of innuendo, but that is what the FACTS bore out.<BR/><BR/>So unless you are accusing a California State Senator of filing fraudulent paperwork and a massive conspiracy involving the Senate Rules Committee, the Senate Personnel Office and a now former candidate for the California State Assembly why don't you do us all a favor and zip it already.<BR/><BR/>To say that Lowenthal pulled the women away from Shaw is possible but she could have easily pulled the Jewish vote from Gold so that argument doesn't hold water. Shaw had the first ballot position and that tends to be a help as well.<BR/><BR/>But the bigger point is that Jim Alger made a strong and respectable showing, lost a good fight and you feel the need to kick him anyway in a thread that has nothing to do with him.<BR/><BR/>How sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1150942743559088072006-06-21T19:19:00.000-07:002006-06-21T19:19:00.000-07:00Mitch the Bitch has no juice.Mitch the Bitch has no juice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1150935918802584472006-06-21T17:25:00.000-07:002006-06-21T17:25:00.000-07:00BunkerGet a grip man.

He lost by less just over 700 votes, about 2 votes per precinct. <BR/><BR/>He had little money (because of the lopsided district) NO union support (because he was running against a union bosses wife, was getting hit with negative attacks and was a virtual unknown when he started, in and out of the party ... all that and he barely lost. If you call that "getting his head handed to him" your in wishfull thinking land.<BR/><BR/>Quite the oppisite.
