Garamendi doesn’t know the voters, the political leadership, or Contra Costa political issues. Another possibility would be the “Lone Ranger” theme song. Not a single prominent local Democrat – like George Miller, Ellen Tauscher, Tom Torlakson and all our local labor leaders – asked or wanted Garamendi to come to Contra Costa to run to be our Congressman! This was his idea alone, and a particulary wacky idea at that. Garamendi would make a terrible Congressman for our county, he knows zip about Contra Costa and spends all his time running for other offices. We don’t need a glib, blow-dried 80′s style politician from Sacramento to be our Congressman. We’ve got plenty of local talent.
