Ms. Unruh: FYI. The comment where your name was misspelled was submitted by a reader and not someone at the CCTIMES. If you are serious about entering the CD10 race, I would really like to talk with you. Please give me a call at 925-945-4773. Lisa Vorderbrueggen

My name is Lauren Unruh.

Spelling canididates names wrong is an old trick the newspaper business does to marginalize talent they do not like or approve of.

They should have also asked about me, I’m running too.

I might even have name recognition since I have been blogging about ending the Drug War in AlterNet for about six years. I’m a lot more popular than DeSaulnier.

A lot of people know me and I have a base of support. I think I am going to win.

I had a grand vision on how to do end the Drug War, including a youth movement, ecology movement, religious freedom reformation and an on-line media campaign to break through the ‘bubble.’

I think I have been very successful so it is frustrating that Lisa V. ignores me so diligently. She asked me one time about school vouchers and has refused to talk to me ever since. I guess I didn’t have the correct Catholic answer.

Her refusal to take me seriously has lead to actual damages, not only for me, but for everybody.

I had a PLAN to end war,

globally.

These polls are meaningless. What matters is money and endorsements. Voters will rally around the candidate who secures the most popular and credible support from organizations and public officials they trust. The endorsements help with raising credibility and, more importantly, money to deliver the message. Where the candidates are today matters less than where they will be after all the mail and television only money can buy. Buchanan won’t get a single significant endorsement and will likely have no money. Her candidacy will anger many and her poor showing will guarantee a primary challenge for reelection. With Tauscher, Miller, Torlakson and Labor, this is a lock for DeSaulnier.

If Buchanon runs she can tout her two weeks of experience in the legisalture. … In my two weeks in the California Legisalture I learned where the assembly rest tooms were, how to drop a bill in the hopper, and I successfully moved my furniture into my office. This experience, I think, qualifys me to go to DC and fight for my constituents, most of whom I really don’t know, since I’ve been in office two weeks.
That would be Buchanon running on her record, if she runs.

I’ve got a good slogan for Warren Rupf, if he runs for this seat.. If you love flat wages, no health care, and jobs going overseas, you’ll just love Warrn Rupf and the Republicans.

Being a former BART board member isn’t exactly a strong launching pad for a run for a major political office. I can’t believe Richard could be serious.

Yes, way too early for polls to mean anything. Which leads to another comment. It’s said that it could take weeks or even months for Tauscher to be confirmed. That struck me as really absurd, that the Senate can’t move any faster than that, especially for an apparently noncontroversial appointee. No wonder Obama still has so many openings. The vetting and disqualification business for non-judicial, non-lifetime, non-fixed term positions has become way too micro and out of control, regardless of which party controls the White House.

Majority of voters don’t even realize Tauscher is leaving the House. Way too soon for a credible poll.
