I have a hard time believing it is coincidence that Guess’s offices are located in the building that
Michael Milken/Drexel Burnham Lambert used for their West Coast operations.

I also am getting sick of the millionaires that think the Governor’s office is a place for OJT. (Checchi, Huffington, etc.)
We’ve already seen what a disaster that can be with Arnold.

Independent is just another name for Democrat.

Not always. Besides, if this guy is a leftist, it’s the Dems that aren’t going to want him to run. Of course, we’re probably going to end up with a complete set of leftists on all the tickets.

It’s Gary Coleman’s if he wants it. This is his year—I can feel it.

Either that, or one of the Coreys.

Nothing in Wikipedia under Georges’s name, but we have his brother here (and he is mentioned)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Marciano

Paul Marciano

Born: 1952, Algeria
Nationality: American, Algerian, French
Labels: Guess? Inc.

Paul Marciano (ca. 1952[1]) is a Jewish-American fashion designer and co-founder of Guess? Inc. He is the mastermind behind the Guess? image and his sensual black-and-white advertisements have won numerous Clio awards. Initially run by all four Marciano brothers (Paul, Armand, Maurice and Georges), today the company and its extension lines, Marciano and G by Guess, are handled only by Paul and Maurice.

Early life

Paul Marciano was born in 1952 in Algeria, and raised in Marseilles, France with his four siblings, Georges, Armand, Maurice and Jacqueline. His father, like his grandfather and great-grandfather before him, was a rabbi.[2] They lived in an apartment in a synagogue complex and from age 8-15 Paul, along with his brothers, was a member of the Eclaireurs Israelites de France, a Jewish boy scout group which was located in the same complex.[3]

“I am assuming this guy is a lefty?..”

He’s a Jewish fashion designer......I thing the answer is quite obvious.

Is ‘01 his most recent donation ? The donation to Hentschel was an unusual one. She ran in the Black L.A. district that sent Diane Watson to Congress and got just 20% in that special election. Perhaps he’s a disgruntled Dem if ‘97 was his last donation to them.

Those were all his federal contributions (via Newsmeat)

He has never made a California political contribution (per CalAcess)

All of his brothers also gave to Hentschel — and were mostly all liberal contributions. Perhaps it was a friend or acquaintance?

Possible acquaintance. That was such a hopeless cause, literally like pissing the $$ away, though it would’ve been nice to have won the district, even with an ostensible RINO (of course, the real Conservative in that race was Ezola Foster, she was running 3rd party).
