SAN DIEGO — As Air Force One touched down at the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego early last month, the usual throng of local media and political-types waited on the tarmac.
Kevin Faulconer — who had been recently sworn in as San Diego’s 36th mayor — stood among them. Soon, he would greet the man who had endorsed his opponent during the final stages of what had been a heated election.
The visit created a choice for Faulconer, whose success has been cited as an example of how the GOP can still win a major race in deep-blue California (or, perhaps, anywhere with a significant voter registration disadvantage).

Wait, bees and bee stings are a legal and political issue now? What planet did I wake up on?
The case is easy on this one, Kranz is a caveman that wants to turn the clock back 30+ years. It’s not often we can use a liberal charge against a liberal. He is hopelessly deluded thinking that any government has the right to turn a popular coastal city back to its agrarian early settlement stage. What’s next, forced deportation of home owners?
From the RCP article: “Democrats need hate, for lack of a better word, to get the base to turn out.” -Jason Roe
Is what Roe said, true or false?
Dave,
True, but the same could be said for Republicans. Unfortunately, hate and fear are much better motivators than any positive message.
Don’t believe it? Keep track of the upcoming ads in CD 52 and see how many more negative ads there will be. More importantly, take note of which ones you remember.
