The Steve Danon Race for Supervisor – Restoring The Public Trust
During the past few years, public trust in government has deteriorated—and rightfully so. Leaders at all levels of government have thrown fiscal restraint out the window and prioritized their own political interests above the public good.

The Danon Dilemma
So Tom Shepard, whose track record includes some legal troubles, electing the mayor who underfunded the pension system, electing the council president who doubled down on the pension underfunding, losing Bilbray for Congress in 2000, winning Sanders, turning easy Horn/Roberts victories into prolonged costly races, losing Prop D, and losing Fletcher has taken the lead on Filner for Mayor. Behind …
The Danon Steamroller has some competition
The local San Diego great politico John Dadian is quoted as calling the Steve Danon campaign for the 3rd District Supervisorial seat “the steamroller,” but thus far there hasn’t been much to roll over since he had drawn no opponents and the incumbent has bowed out of the race.

With Slater-Price out, the Danon Juggernaut continues
After contending since 2008 that she was in it to win it, five-term County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price has announced she will be stepping down in 2012 rather than take on the juggernaut that the Steve Danon for Supervisor Campaign has become.

Heidi Klum’s Take on the San Diego Mayor’s Race
Do I know what will drive Rostra reader traffic, or what? While Mrs. Seal hasn’t technically made any direct comment, her admonition to contestants on her reality show “Project Runway” applies nicely.

Danon’s Early Efforts for Supe Sets Tone for Real Race
The following is from my post of yesterday at the FlashReport. It was subsequently pointed out to me that Pam Slater-Price has close to $375,000 banked and hasn’t yet started fundraising for 2012, as if to ask why I would even write about a challenger.
