Well folks, I just got back from the Dean Andal vs. Jerry “Yes on the Bail-Out” McNerney debate! I would have to say that Dean did well, and won the debate. Dean called Jerry out on his voting record in Congress, and at one point Jerry even turned a little red in the face! Dean also challenged Jerry to another debate, but Jerry did not give it a green light! One thing that Jerry managed to do though was… bus in a bunch of liberals from S.F. and Berkeley to hold his signs.

Andal is done. He will track McCain’s fortunes in the Golden State. The only hope for the GOP in the Bay Area is the Abraham Wilson’s AD15 race. The state GOP just dumped $475,000 into Wilson’s campaign. I think they want to hold the seat.

Fellas, unless Andal comes across like Ronald Reagan, he’ll end up as a bug on McNerney’s windshield come November.

All true Walter But lets get Andal on record saying he will oppose the the DC GOP congressional leadership on spending bills. It is not enough to report McNerny’s record. we know what to expect from him.

I don’t want to elect another DC Republican to office. I think we need more independent thinking. And if the DC GOP leadership is funding his campaign you can bet they will call in their chits when the need a vote on a bill. Again get him on record. it may save his campaign.

There are plenty of questions for both candidates to answer.

Taxes: Andal has never voted for a tax increase. McNerney has voted to raise our taxes time and time again.

Energy: Andal is for domestic drilling and nuclear energy. McNerney is against both!

Earmarks: Andal is against them. McNerney received a campaign contribution of $2,000 from EDO Corp. Two days later, McNerney earmarked $1 million for them and after the bill was passed, he received another campaign contribution for $8,500!

McNerny just has to hold his own or break even. The pressure is on Andal. He has one chance to get his
you-tube moment. McNerny will be flooding the Airways, cableboxes and the Mailboxes with all the cash he has.

I read the otherday on opensecrets.com that Andals biggest group of contributers are the DC Republican reelection pacs. So my question is if the bad guys (meaning DC Republicans) are financing Andal how is he going to be any better than Pombo? Or for that matter an independent voice from the big spending republicans we have now?

i am still undecided as a voter.

If I was Andal I would drill McNerney on what kind of job he had before he became Congressman. I heard he was a “consultant” which is what people often say when they don’t have a job. Andal should ask him specifically who he was “consulting” for before he was elected to the House. Given the current economic crisis, we can’t have people in Congress who wern’t clever enough to get a job before they got elected. If McNerney was out of work, the voters need to know this, I think. The stakes are really starting to get high in DC these days, so we need the best people.

I’ve spoken with both Andal and McNerney, in person and I’d say Dean Andal has the upper-hand in this type of arena.

I hope the audience grills McNerney for his support of the unconstitutional Bail-Out!

If Dean comes out on top, it will be big for his campaign! Timing is everything and there’s less than a month left!
