Republican activists may have breathed a sigh of relief today on learning that Santa Monica City Councilman Bobby Shriver has opted not to run for state attorney general.
Now they are working to recruit their own star candidate.
Their target is U.S. Atty. Thomas O’Brien. A recruitment effort is being spearheaded by California Republicans Aligned For Tomorrow, or CRAFT, a nonprofit focused on enlisting candidates for statewide office. The organization is bankrolled mostly by corporate leaders who have been seeking for years to move the party more toward the middle. Its chief executive is Duf Sundheim, former chair of the state GOP.
Sundheim said O’Brien "would be a fantastic candidate." He said CRAFT has approached the prosecutor, who told the group that "right now he is the U.S. attorney and that is what he is focusing on."

I think it was Joe, Sr’s unilateral decision. I believe Rose was opposed. It’s amazing, he did it hoping she wouldn’t cause “problems” for the family (i.e. promiscuity). Looks like the whole family should’ve been lobotomized.
A family collective liberal lobotomy???
That family tragedy they Joe created for himself. What a dick. I guess he would have had to get legal authorization to force her or else he just tricked her.
I can’t believe anyone ever thought cutting out pieces of the brain was a good idea.
The middle of what?
Middle of the road, which is a code name for RINO.
The middle of a road with its right lane closed.
