The article says nothing about Tenenbaum’s stances on the issues. The author may be writing a hit piece. Perhaps he wants a log cabin republican, or a liberal republican, or perhaps a conservative republican. This article leaves me clueless. I’d rather vote for a conservative who misses votes than a “moderate” republican who is guaranteed to vote against conservatives with regularity. So tell me, is Tenenbaum conservative or not.
Is there smoke out there waiting to flame-up?
BY THE WAY, WHO SELLS ELTON ALL THAT HAIR SPRAY?
That's the way it struck me. I'm very anti VC "Red" Star anyhow and don't trust anything it prints. It's basically the county Democrat Party Newsletter.
Maybe Gallegly is as bad as the article says. But before I vote for Tennenbaum I need to know a GREAT deal more about his background, stands on issues (not just campaign blather). I'm highly skeptical of another Hollywood politician. Better the Devil you know...
lol. I had also heard that the “catastrophic” health condition that made him retire 2 years ago was actually a really bad scandal. but whoever was about to come forward got silenced by karl rove and gallegly decided to reenter the race once he felt he was in the clear.
I’ve been reading the Star for 20 years and I can tell you that the paper is far from being the Democratic Party Newsletter. If anything, the paper leans to the right.
Well, I read it for about 12 years until I canceled my subscription 3 years ago. Leans to the Right? I want some of what you’re smoking, LOL.
Yikes that was painful to read! I haven’t seen that many grammatical errors in a publication in eons.
Is this a letter to the editor? One thing for sure, it could have used a major edit job.
‘Elton’ is somebody’s real name? Who knew?
I have actually had the pleasure of meeting Michael Tenenbaum about a month ago. He was walking my neighborhood door to door and I had a nice conversation with him. He seemed like a geniune conservative to me. One thing I did notice is that he’s much more of a people person than Elton Gallegly. He gave a brief sprew about his platform, but most of the conservaton we had was like a buddy to buddy conversation. I met Gallegly several years ago at a Reagon Library function and he was very dull and uptight.
There is some stuff on this thread from 2006 about Tenenbaum when he was going to run before.
Harvard Law, trial attorney, political donation to one dem and one to the the CRP... lots of huge blank spaces on his resume. Scroll down—some tidbits throughout the thread.

Much appreciated. A trial lawyer, huh? Pardon me for being a mite suspicious.
You aren’t alone. Many of us on that thread were suspicious.
The Democratic candidate he donated to was a longtime friend of his from high school. It’s kind of sad these days that you have to have a whole list of political credentials just to run for office. The founding fathers intended representatives to be ordinary citizens who would at the most serve for one or two terms before returning to the private sector. Now, it seems you have to had lived off the taxpayer for at least a dozen years before you can run for office.
With only two donations in his history, no matter the party, I got the idea that he wasn't very politically active which I would find relevant. If you know more about him, please share. I'm sure others would be interested.

If you look at the threads from two years ago, it was not the lack of political credentials that was causing suspicion. Generally, there was a blank sheet to work with as far as understanding his professional background, qualifications, and position on issues.

I certainly don't share that opinion.
elton gallegly, elton john, etc....
hey, i met him today too!! He’s seems like a real honest person and I’m definitely voting for him next month.
Which fawning member of the Tenenbaum team wrote this puff piece? “As equally handsome as Rob lowe”? Geez... All we need in congress is a pretty boy with no defined program. californiabear, you seem to know Tenenbaum’s intimate details - Can you give us some more details from the “bear’s mouth” so to speak?
Tenenbaum himself?
Try to tone down on the personal attacks; it’s pretty childish. Also, it’s interesting that you just registered before you made that post. Is Gallegly giving you some down-low favors so you would post love notes about him?
