This guy has deep pockets, as he made a billion dollars plus when he sold his stake in a Silicon Valley company.

How much is a state Assembly seat worth in California?

Poizner finally concedes Assembly race

Republican Steve Poizner acknowledged the inevitable Monday and conceded his Peninsula Assembly race to Democrat Ira Ruskin. -- John Wildermuth/San Francisco Chronicle

I live in San Mateo County and this guy sure put a lot of money into this race. I've never seen so much advertising for an assembly seat. And frankly, Ira Ruskin's ads were stupid. I was sure people would be turned off by them. But apparently, party loyalty is more important than pretty ads. Poizner tried to paint himself as an independent Republican (read: pro-choice), but that's just not enough in counties that voted 64-70% for Kerry.

Props to this guy for making Ira defend the seat.

Now let's support him and Ted Costa and others in the CRITICAL drive for fair redistricting.
