Jeff, that is neither here nor there. It doesn’t matter if the line goes through his yard or right up against it, no matter how you try to spin it, he isn’t a carpetbagger. It’s a moot point.

Ted Ford, I highly doubt any democract will tar and feather another for labor support. I don’t know about you but I don’t pee into the wind and I don’t ice skate uphill, which is what any democract is doing attempting to tar and feather another democrat for having union support.

What happens if that person win and has to run again in 2010, do you think labor will play nice?

I am very skeptical of the claim that the line between District 3 and District 10 bisects Garamendi's Walnut Grove property. The line is in the river that is next to State Hwy 160, which runs in front of his house. Why would the line emerge from the river to jump up on Garamendi's lawn and than go back into the river? Using http://people.yahoo.com, the address is found as 14216 State Hwy 160 in Walnut Grove (it's in the URL). Google Maps shows it close up with this image. It is right next to the river, which is the boundary between CA-03 and CA-10. Scroll around this map of the district to find the same location and you will see that Garamendi's address is in DISTRICT 3. See?

If Joan Buchanan and Joe Canciamilla step in, thi s could be a very interesting race. The “progressives” could eat each others lunch, and the centrist Canciamilla could steal it on the outside. On the other hand, Joan Buchanan being the only woman could win it. Anything could happen in a race with so many candidates. DeSaulnier could be hindered by his labor support. The others could tar him with it.

Garanendi has DC experience and would be superb 10th District Representative. While I think he should be governor, he wants to do public policy work now and that is understandble given how much experience he has. Why sit around, fight with political insiders, pollsters, billionaire pranksters and discuss hair gel? Garamendi wants to work for the 10th and work hard; let him have at it.
