I remember it well. I hope I'm driving a Hummer when Mullholand steps in front of me

I worked on Bruce Herschensohn's campaign that year, walking and calling the precincts around San Gabriel, San Marino, and South Pasadena. Bruce is an extremely bright man with well-thought-out positions. I still have the white papers he put out during the campaign. He used to tear former Senator Tunney apart on ABC Channel 7 in Los Angeles. I wrote him a letter after the defeat urging him to stay active in politics because the Republican party needed his "voice." I got a very nice personal letter back that I have also saved. Bruce hooked on with a think tank at Clairmont Men's College. I think he still might be there.

Herschensohn BARELY lost in the worst Republican year in more than a decade. Two years later, we gained seats in both houses of the Legislature and in Congress ... and the Assembly had the majority for the first time in 2 decades.

It'd be hard to get the majority with the liberal Democrat gerrymandering, but we have gains to make, particularly in the Central Valley.
