    • CA-Sen: Should legislative Chuck DeVore's staffers be allowed to volunteer for their bosses’ campaigns?
      DeVore’s Chief of Staff in the Assembly, Leisa Brug Kline, doubles as his campaign manager. She runs her own public relations firm, Van der Brug, but was paid only $4,299.78 for campaign work in 2009, according to campaign finance records. Meanwhile, she’s considered a full-time employee of the State Assembly, which pays her $8,125 a month, according to state payroll records.

      DeVore’s campaign communications director, Joshua Trevino, also worked part-time as a senior consultant for DeVore’s Assembly office. Trevino started with DeVore’s Assembly office as press secretary in September 2008. Back then, he earned $2,084 a month for working a part-time schedule that required him to be on the job for 50 percent of the work week. Trevino left DeVore’s Assembly office the next month, but returned in March 2009 as a “senior consultant” earning $5,000 a month on a 60 percent schedule. At the same time, Trevino wrote on his Facebook page that he joined the DeVore for Senate campaign in 3/2009..

    • CA-Sen: Poll says GOP voters don’t know Tom Campbell favors gay marriage
      The vast majority of Tom Campbell’s supporters in his bid for the GOP nomination to take on U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer don’t know that he supports gay marriage, according to a new poll by a national anti-gay marriage group.

      Only 2 percent of current Campbell supporters were aware that he explicitly supports same-sex marriage and opposed Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative that ended these marriages in California.

      The poll was commissioned by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), a Washington, D.C., based group that has been working to defeat and repeal gay marriage bids in several states. They commissioned the poll of 500 likely GOP voters, conducted March 12-15 by the firm QEV Analytics. NOM is also working to make sure GOP voters know Campbell’s position.

      A contrast ad closer to the election will make the distinction.

  • Day By Day,  Obamacare

    Day By Day March 24, 2010 – The Crutch

    March 24, 2010 /


    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    Enough of the name calling and demonizing of Obamacare. Obama’s health care reform legislation is bad for the country and I doubt that the worst parts of it will ever be implemented. Plus, the national Republican Party will be able to run against it in the 2010 and 2012 elections and win a goodly number of seats in Congress back from the Democrats.

    Is there any wonder why the LEFT wants to brand Tea Party activists and other Obamcare opponents as racist? Maybe they can salvage some seats in November.

    Remember the worst parts of Obamacare, including the cuts in Medicare and tax increases do not take effect until after the Presidential re-election campaign of Obama in 2012. Unfortunately, the economic malaise the country is in will not improve with Obamacare looming in the future.

    Look for massive revisions in the legislation starting in February 2011.
