Kf Caught in the Act (Kaus Officially Announces Run Against Babs Boxer In Demo. primary)
Slate ^ | March 2, 2010 | Mickey Kaus

The rollout didn't go as my team of highly paid media consultants* had planned-- L.A. Weekly got it way before it was supposed to. Heads will roll around here. But I did go down to the local registrar's office Monday and take out nomination papers to run in the primary for U.S. Senator against Barbara Boxer. If I return them in timely fashion with enough signatures, I should be able to get on the June ballot. We'll see what happens. This isn't the place to make an electioneering spiel--I don't want to be a test case of campaign finance law if I can help it. But the basic idea would be to argue, as a Democrat, against the party's dogma on several major issues (you can guess which ones). Likeminded Dem voters who assume they will vote for Sen. Boxer The Incumbent in the fall might value a mechanism that lets them register their dissent in the primary. Next phase: Lowering expectations!

He will run on higher taxes and higher spending and higher deficits I guess. Probably not a real good year to campaign on those themes, even in Califruitia
