Support keeps piling up for Carl DeMaio’s bid for Congress. Many of the GOP members of the California Congressional Delegation are hosting a fundraising event for DeMaio on October 9th in Washington D.C. Of particular note: Chairman Darrell Issa is on board. This is a huge deal! Here’s the link to the event posted on the DeMaio website.  

Continuing with our series of “Who Covered Up for Bob Filner” this edition focuses on TODD GLORIA. First, let’s start with the money shot photo of Todd Gloria standing at Bob’s side on Election Day, while Bob voted for himself. Add to this photo the cheesy live TV footage of Gloria outside the polling station.  And the rallies and press …

In the next few days and weeks, I’ll be posting some interesting reminders about “who spoke up” against Bob Filner’s treatment of women. I’ll also be posting items showing “Who Covered It Up”. Let’s begin with this press conference – organized by the DeMaio camp featuring a powerful warning from Bonnie Dumanis.

Update from Rostra Admin… Given that Bob Filner COS Lee Burdick is now asking for the City Council to protect her from big, bad Jan Goldsmith, what do you think of this post from the other day?… Posted Saturday, July 27… In the middle of the media circus surrounding Bob Filner’s “Rehab” announcement, the media missed an important development. On …

Fellow Democrat Sen. Feinstein calls on Bob Filner to resign. More tellingly, she says his conduct is subject to Recall. More here: http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-live/2013/07/feinstein-filner-should-resign-169342.html?hp=l4

Every time another woman steps forward with a tale of harassment, Bob Filner pleads for “Due Process.” Filner’s lackeys are crying “Due Process” at press conferences. No doubt Thursday night’s Democratic Party re-vote on whether to call for Filner’s resignation will also feature demands for “Due Process” before condemning Filner. Smell the hypocrisy? Oh, I do. Allow me to refresh …

So Channel 10 and UT San Diego paid for a Survey USA robo poll on possible mayoral contenders. It shows a statistical dead heat between Carl DeMaio and Nathan Fletcher. Full poll link below. Some observations Poll Understates DeMaio Strength with Special Election Voters It is widely known that the SurveyUSA poll over-samples voters – going with registered voters versus …

Carl DeMaio continues to draw national attention in his bid for Congress. The latest is from Politico, which names DeMaio on its “50 People to Watch” List. He is the only Republican challenger in the nation to be put on the list. here’s the full story here’s the full list  

Here’s a good top 10 list over at Flash Report covering the stupid things politicians are doing around the State. Congratulations Nathan!

I was curious whether US Attorney Laura Duffy did anything wrong by contributing to Carl DeMaio.  Instead of accepting Bob Filner’s accusations that she violated the Hatch Act, I decided to research it for myself. A simple search on the world wide web of the term “Hatch Act” directed me to the following site.  The federal government webpage clearly defines …

Recently, Nathan Fletcher raised eyebrows for accepting a financial donation from the minor daughter of Lorena Gonzalez, the local labor union boss.  Nathan Fletcher’s continued move to the left appears to mirror his growing support from the Gonzalez family as a whole. The most recent financial disclosures show Marco Gonzalez, Lorena’s brother, donating to Fletcher’s Mayoral campaign. Marco Gonzalez is a well known …

On Monday night, mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher held an unusual teletown hall according to a couple of people who contacted me.  One would think it was a campaign forum with Fletcher talking about himself and why he thinks he should be mayor. One problem: The people who told me about the forum live outside the City of San Diego; specifically …

For someone who has spent so much time talking about improving performance at schools, Nathan Fletcher should really be looking at improving his own grades.  Yesterday, the California Republican Assembly released a scorecard for legislators on a variety of conservative issues. For the second year in a row, Fletcher received the lowest mark amongst all Republicans statewide.  His 56% is …

Note to reader [This is a rant, not a properly organized posting]: Today, the City Council will vote on whether to raise our water rates…again. They’ll claim this is merely a “pass through” because the price of buying water has gone up on the open market. We don’t see an across the board increase (by relatively equal amounts) in different …
