From Cardiff, one of those beach towns. She has the money, a lot of it, and is running on an anti corruption campaign. Being otherwise a relative blank slate, except going with the wave on the UAE deal, might be a plus. I don't know. She probably will not get away with coming across an empty dress in this district. She either has the depth, or she doesn't.
True, but the fact is, I would not do that ever, no matter how lean and hungry I was. I grant you, that ethics is a learned behavior, and it takes a lot of years of good habits to become deeply ingrained in one's psych and being. Trust me.
She is harping on having a vote right now, which of course is irresponsible, but perhaps effective, for the moment.
Kerry carried Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, and Solana Beach easily.
I like Bill Morrow a lot, but I think I'll vote for Howard. He has a track record and he keeps his word. His actions speak louder than words.
I like eric roach myself.
I think uke was the front runner b/c he dumped a ton of ads early, but he comes off a tad rinoish to me. He doesnt really talk domestic issues at all.
Busby running on an anti-corruption campaign, after sitting on the school board?
That's just too funny!
After all is said & done, this race will come down to $ and name ID. I'm almost sure we'll see Roach, Uke, and Bilbray leading the pack, but I don't see Bilbray being able to sustain it. Want to know why? Here it is:
Between Roach & Uke, Uke has the edge due to his track record. Roach hasn't really done anything besides make $, which Uke did as well.
Yea true, but to my recollection uke almost never talks about domestic issues and doesnt really come off as a conservative candidate. I mean in a district like ours, we really ought to have the most conservative guy possible. (i suppose ideally that means support kaloogian, but i think a vote for him would be throwing my vote away, that is unless he was polling pretty close then i'd consider shifting support).
$750,000 doesn't buy what it used to, especially in California...
I guess it depends what you mean by domestic issues. I've heard him say some good stuff about social security, veterans issues, and even immigration. And yes, in my opinion a vote for Howard is a waste of a vote...
Uke just comes off to me as more of a busuiness as usual republican, something about him i'm just not sure about. I mean for all i know eric roach could just be a rino who knows how to talk the talk, but i figure might as well give him a shot.
Oh yeah, he's definitely a good talker alright, definitely a better talker than Uke. As far as your label for Uke, I think he's a very traditional republican. Nothing fancy, just common sense kind of stuff, like infrastructure for our roads. Just sounds more appealing to me than the other ideological crap that's out there; I think people are getting sick of politicians telling them how to think and live their lives...
Doesn't matter anymore:
