Morrow is go along, get along guy and not a fighter.
I went to him, having talked to him a number of times in the past, when he was an Assemblyman and tried to got him to introduce a bill in the Assembly that would have outlawed the practice of the coroner declaring anyone over 55 is assumed to have died of natural causes.
He thought it was a good idea after explaining the circumstances to him but after discussing it with Republicans in Sacramento came back and informed me that he couldn't do it because the current State Senator from San Bernardino wanted to become County Coroner when he was term limited out and it would hurt his chances of getting the office.
Besides that, he lives in Issa's district unless he has very recently moved.
I also know Kaloogian and am 100% behind him as the best man running.
So, what does Kaloogian have to do to get Morrow out of the race?
Maybe he knew that he couldn't get to first base with the legislation for political reasons and didn't want to marginalize himself as a Don Quiote. Maybe he is a realist with wisdom and knows his limitations. I am sure he gave it a good shot as he did for me (successfully) as an Optometrist in the 90's and did my profession a LOT of good.
