DA Office Braces for Bloodbath Mass Firings Feared
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE - Wednesday, January 17, 1996

EXCERPT
LOYALTY TEST: A few weeks ago, when Mayor-elect Willie Brown was mulling over his first appointment to the Board of Supervisors, Carole Migden offered up this advice: ``You have a free pass on this one, so appoint someone that will shine and someone who will be loyal.
He did, appointing Representative Nancy Pelosi s aide, Michael Yaki , to replace Terence Hallinan.
Yaki represents the latest generation of the Burton-Brown machine, that liberal-labor combine of politicos that includes Brown, Pelosi , Assemblyman John Burton, plus Supervisors Kevin Shelley and Sue Bierman.
Even U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer started out as an aide in the Burton combine.
If theres one thing the Burton clan knows about, its loyalty. By appointing Yaki , Brown proves his loyalty to Pelosi and gives Yaki a chance to prove his loyalty to Brown.
I’m in ILLINOIS and I HAVE to vote FOR KIRK!! I am a GROWN-UP!!
I am not voting for her. I live in another state.
The idiots were warned. She had a history that people wouldn’t forget.
But, no..... our arrogant, corrupt, GOP establishment pushed her, anyway.
Take an arrogant, hated, liberal (Boxer) and choose an arrogant, hated, moderate to liberal (Carly)
to run against her. Brilliance! /s
I meant that for someone else.
Agreed, this is not a primary battle.
Fiorina far from perfect but she is 100 times better than Boxer.
Amen....1000 times better than Box of Rocks!!
Some things never change. Many of the established are still playing out of the old playbook.
That is precisely why they will lose.
no problem
No need to scream, dearie. How about you answer my question: "What State are you in"? I find it amusing how every election a bunch of out-of-state posters come on California threads posting the mantra: "California is too liberal. You could never elect a conservative. This is the best we can hope for... and other innanities, ad nauseum."
I'll probably vote for Carly but it's not a matter of who *I* will vote for that matters.
It is the other millions of people in the state who simply won't take the time to come out and vote for the SOS. Californians aren't all that liberal -- they're just busy. They tune out politics because they see nothing inspiring to support. Turnout wins elections. Turnout depends on motivating people to vote FOR something. There is no such motivation this year, other than perhaps the dopeheads who want to legalize marijuana.
I'm not seeing ANY Fiorina ads on TV. Family members are telling me the same thing.
We are all waiting for Fiorina to begin her campaign. What is she waiting for? A few appearances on national cable TV shows will not be enough.

Legalizing DOPE?
What do you mean? Didn’t Boxer win her primary?
Suuuurrrrreeee, and so is McQueeg. /sarc
Hell, I'm sure we can find some position that Obama shares with conservatives, although I don't think you'll be as willing to bend over and kiss his arse as you are for FioRINO.
I’m sorry - I don’t understand the point? Are you trying to tell me that a bunch of leftists are all part of a leftist machine? Those of us in California are pretty aware of that. Shoot, even Hallinan (mentioned in your post) hails from a family of rabid Communists. (capital C)
I just moved away from CA, but I decided to vote one last time absentee in CA rather than where I am now, because I moved to a red state and I consider a Boxer defeat a very high priority.
