Asked to explain the developer's spending on his campaigns, Angelides said: "Whether it was Michael Dukakis or Paul Sarbanes or Paul Tsongas, he's always been extraordinarily supportive of Greek Americans of quality seeking elective office."

[Paul8148]

Well atleast he is part of General Holding.

(Sorry if you do not get that comment. It a Kern Country thing with this election)

Whether it was Michael Dukakis or Paul Sarbanes or Paul Tsongas, he's always been extraordinarily supportive of Greek Americans of quality seeking elective office."

Dukakis? Quality? This clown obviously has never lived in Massachusetts.

Don't change the headline from that at the original source.

Well, we know Angelides is on the side of losers. Even Sarbanes can be called a loser, thanks to that abomination called "Sarbanes-Oxley"...

[Paul8148]

Good news is it looks like he will likley come back and win the primany, then get rolled over by Aronld's Hummer in the General. (A lot of Dems are switching from Welsy to him because of they worry that are the crap about the pension funds would kill him, but now Phil has a "Davis" problem of his own.)

What is it with the Greeks? 99% of them always vote for the demoncrats.

I am in the 1% minority and I have to tell you, it was pathetic when I attended the Phoenix Greek Festival last October as they were passing out Kerry for President buttons. I asked where the Bush buttons were and they had none.

I don't know who Angelides is talking about since I'm not registered at the LA Times website, but I presume the builder is a Greek-American. Is he old enough to have donated to Spiro Agnew's campaigns?

[JRios1968]

I hate to say, but the situation is the same with my fellow Puerto Ricans in the States. I mean, look at the 3 Dim clowns that are in Congress for no reason other than they're Puerto Rican (Velasquez, and the 2 others from Chicago and NYC.)

[ElkGroveDan]

Well atleast he is part of General Holding.

Now if only we can tie him to Brian Todd.

[BenLurkin]

Classic democrat match-up. Two ax and spend liberals at each others throats over whose special interest supporters are worse.

Westly is backed bu the mobsters running the public employee unions.

Angleides is backed by the mobsters running the big residential developers.

"Angelo's always had an attraction and a fondness for growing things," he said.

Yeah...his bank account.

[Paul8148]

I fear sorry for Dean, he going to get rolled by Mike because of this crap. In fact I think the "anti Machine" well spill over to Stan Ellies beating Fuller. Ashburn will be kicking himself I bet for not running for Congress agisnt Kevin when he see the returns.

There's at least 3 Greek GOP pols I can think of, Spiro Agnew, Mike & Gus Bilirakis (FL current & future Congressmembers).

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fortunately, the one representing PR is a Republican, Luis Fortuño.

[JRios1968]

Indeed! I, for the life of me, can't figure out why the pro-statehood party in PR sits so easily on the fence between the GOP and the Donks. Must be yet another reason the pro-statehood movement isn't taken seriously here in the USA!
