Just home from a trip, a tipsy trip at that, with my good friend. The new, or semi-new, Grant Hotel this time for too many delicious glasses of scotch. That aside, I need to reprint his paraphrased comments or I fear I will forget:
On Donna Frye Endorsing Roberts: Does this woman not realize the heights she could attain as a Decline to State or as a Republican? It’s the Democratic Party holding her back!
On the 77th Assembly race: I just shake my head when I look at those campaign finance reports. What is more important though is what this means is Sacramento interests can buy this race if they want, for cheap.
On Marti Emerald and the Ethics Commission: I’m going to make a prediction – Marti Emerald will be the first San Diego politician recalled since Linda a couple decades ago (editor’s note I don’t know who that is so I’m just putting in the name).
On the Mayors race 2012: Seems like a lot of them running from the hard right for a city that leans to the left, doesn’t it?
Thanks folks… see you in the morning but not too early.

“Linda” is Linda Bernhardt, recalled from the 5th district
council seat by a 72% landslide in 1991.
Uhhhh, Barkeep does know that the Frye endorsement of Roberts was a Rostra April Fool’s joke?
From the UT….
Is Frye endorsing Roberts?

Aside from the personal animosity between the two — and their tribal loyalties — actually it really would make sense for Frye to endorse Roberts — our biggest RINO Supervisor.
If I remember correctly, Ron Roberts USED to be a Democrat — probably until he realized that to win seats where he wanted to live (back when the GOP held sway in the city), he needed to be a Republican.
