Guys face it, she's the real deal. And you can be short sighted and biased in your support through june, but then you will know what the sorry side of election day feels like. Or, you can gie her a fair shake. Because, when you look at all of the candidates fairly, it is a no brainer that she's the only star.<BR/><BR/>If you insist on putting Laurette through the ringer, then take an equally harsh look at the histories and practices of the other candidates in the race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-42008029653983202532008-02-19T12:48:00.001-08:002008-02-19T12:48:00.001-08:00How low can you go?

He still got fired and no amount of campaign shenanigans aimed at other candidates will allay that fact. The only outreach he did in AD40 was self-serving for his run for the seat. I hope he spends every penny of his inheritance on this race. The two positives will be that he won't come in first and it will be a lesson he really needs to learn. Maybe, when he loses, he will learn to be a better person first and how to be a true public servant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-17084151366784622462008-02-18T14:04:00.000-08:002008-02-18T14:04:00.000-08:00From the Sacramento Bee:Stuart Waldman, a candidat...From the Sacramento Bee:<BR/><I><BR/>Stuart Waldman, a candidate to replace his former boss, Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, in District 40 in the San Fernando Valley, gave his 2008 campaign $100,000 in late 2005.<BR/><BR/>"I put in 100K to show my commitment to the race," said Waldman, who added that he was "committed to put in another 200 or 300K."<BR/></I><BR/><BR/><B>Rookies padding election coffers</B><BR/>At least 12 novices seeking state office have written themselves six-figure checks, records show<BR/><BR/>http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/298708.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-40616327723210904312008-02-18T14:00:00.000-08:002008-02-18T14:00:00.000-08:00Below are the 460 summaries and link to each of th...Below are the 460 summaries and link to each of the reports. <BR/><BR/>Candidates loaning themselves money can be used as a tactic to show strength or they could be legitimately willing to spend it. There are ethical concerns about fairness when candidates can buy themselves a race. But we can set those aside when the candidates are all equally able to keep relatively close on finances. It's not like any of these are Al Checchi or the President of Ebay trying to buy a legislative seat.<BR/><BR/>So, the following shows Waldman to be ahead of the pack only if he is seriously going to spend the money. Blumenfield has raised the most (as you would expect when Berman is making calls on your behalf). And Laurette’s report makes no sense at all. <BR/><BR/>Technically I don’t think a candidate can call their office space (personal or business) as an in-kind donation. If so, every candidate in the state would “in kind” themselves thousands of dollars of expenses, lost work time, car miles and vehicle wear and tear, phone, fax, flights, etc… <BR/><BR/>Bob Blumenfield<BR/>$214,000 on hand<BR/>$15,000 in outstanding payments<BR/>$0 loans<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/yo992e<BR/><BR/>Laurette Healey<BR/>$100,000 on hand<BR/>$17,000 in accrued expenses <BR/>$97,000 in loans<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2p7ekn<BR/><BR/>Stuart Waldman<BR/>$226,000 on hand<BR/>$4,500 in accrued expenses <BR/>$100,000 in loans<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/3dqzuy<BR/><BR/>Dan Mc Rory<BR/>Has not filed a statement, which means he has not hit the $50,000 threshold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-21716044185589276112008-02-18T13:48:00.000-08:002008-02-18T13:48:00.000-08:00I think Laurette Healey should just ignore this bl...I think Laurette Healey should just ignore this blog.
