I am told that the California Democratic State Central Committee pays an annual retainer of at least a hundred thousand dollars a year to a professional political "consultant" named Mulholland to keep him from ever working for GOP candidates. They assign him to critical campaigns which pay him the really big bucks.

This guy purportedly makes Jim Carville seem like Mother Teresa.

You guys should brace yourselves.

People who have observed California politics know all about Bob Mulholland. It was he that slandered Bruce Herschensohn, the Republican that ran against Barbara Boxer in her first Senate race, and he tried to pull the same trick on Boxer's eventual challenger, Matt Fong.

Mulholland is the political equivalent of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, except that in Mulholland's case, "The Bull" is not what they call him -- it's what he tells us.
