Frankie Avalon to Headline Elton Gallegly for Congress Event
Flap’s Congressman Elton Gallegly representing the California 24th district will be having a fundraising event this spring featuring Frankie Avalon.
Everyone remembers teen idol, Frankie Avalon.
By the time he was 12, Avalon began making appearances on U.S. television for his trumpet prowess, and as a teenager, played with Bobby Rydell in a band known as Rocco and the Saints. In 1959, his songs “Venus” and “Why” both went to number one on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100. Indeed, “Why” was the last #1 hit of the 1950s. Avalon had 31 charted Billboard U.S. singles during his career from 1958 to late 1962.
Then there were the Beach Party genre movies with Annette Funicello and his starring roles in television and movies.
The entertainment part of the event starts at 9 PM.
For tickets please call the Gallegly campaign office at 805 522-4487.
Flap knows you will enjoy the program and also help re-elect our fine Republican Congressman who has served our district for many years with distinction.

Barack Obama Wins Mississippi Democrat Primary
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks at the Gamesa Wind Corp. in Fairless Hills, Miss., Tuesday, March 11, 2008.
Based on exit polls the AP has called Mississippi an electoral victory for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama coasted to victory in Mississippi’s Democratic primary Tuesday, latest in a string of racially polarized presidential contests across the Deep South and a final tune-up before next month’s high-stakes race with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Pennsylvania.
Obama was winning roughly 90 percent of the black vote but only about one-third of the white vote, extending a pattern that carried him to victory in earlier primaries in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
The Associated Press made its call based on surveys of voters as they left the polls.
Mississippi had 33 national convention delegates at stake, and Obama hoped for a win sizable enough to erase most if not all of Clinton’s 11-delegate gain from last week, when she won three primaries.
Obama began the night with 1,579 delegates, to 1,473 for Clinton. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination.
Neither of the two rivals appears able to win enough delegates through primaries and caucuses to prevail in their historic race for the nomination, a development that has elevated the importance of nearly 800 elected officials and party leaders who will attend next summer’s national convention as unelected superdelegates.
Obama leads Clinton among pledged delegates, 1,368-1,226 in The Associated Press count, while the former first lady has an advantage among superdelegates, 247-211.
There was little suspense about the Mississippi outcome, and both Clinton and Obama spent part of their day campaigning in Pennsylvania, which has 158 delegates at stake in a primary on April 22.
Looks like a fight to the finish for Obama and Hillary as Obama wins by 18 or 19 points in Mississippi. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Democrats may very well have a “BROKERED CONVENTION” this fall.
Neither Hillary nor Obama will quit prior to the convention and the delegate math continues to read deadlock. There will be lobbying and cajoling of Super Delegates and there may be a push for a re-do election in Michigan and/or Florida. But, these remedies WILL NOT break out a majority for either of them.
There will be a DEAL or the Democrat Convention will have to VOTE in Denver.
Anyone want to bet who will win in this scenario?
NOT OBAMA……..

Elliot Spitzer Watch: Quick Resignation or Impeachment?
New York Governor Elliot Spitzer who admitted yesterday involvement in a prostitution ring will be facing two choices today: a quick resignation or impeachment.
Politicians have been quick to join the clamour for him to step down.
It is easy to surmise that Spitzer will hang on to office while his attorneys quickly negotiate a plea deal with New York and the feds on possible criminal prosecution. However, Spitzer WILL BE impeached prior to his deal to save him jail time.
Do you think the feds are in ANY hurry while Spitzer slowly twists in the wind?
In the meantime, how does Hillary Clinton pledged Democrat Super Delegate Spitzer weigh Team Clinton down?

Day By Day by Chris Muir March 11, 2008
The proposed Do-Over elections in Michigan and Florida are desperate attempts by the Clinton Team to deliver late electoral momentum to Hillary’s failed Presidential campaign. Obama WILL be obligated to go along for the ride.
But, will new elections make any difference?
The delegate math does not bode well for Hillary but she, Howard Dean and Bill will push for the elections change because it is the only hope her candidacy has.
