So the “good ole boy” network comes out to endorse O’Malley. Shocking! Do you all realize that when Dan was a Deputy DA he was universally regarded as “light in the loafers”. This is a guy who is a former airline steward, who graduated from JFK (a non-ABA approved law school) and who owes what modest success he has enjoyed entirely to the “Catholic Golfers Club” (no offense to Catholics mind you) and to the good ole boy network. Every one of those “law enforcement” and prosecution luminaries knows O’Malley was and is a lightweight prosecutor and a weak jurist. Not one of them has any real respect for his abilities. Its all about perpetuating their control of the levers of power.

Good riddance to Mr. Kochly and his reign of laziness and incompetence in law enforcement in Contra Costa County. He should have been “fired” or recalled by voters long ago. He and his cronies operate the office with an arrogant “blame the victim” attitude. His record on civil law enforcement is abysmal. The Board of Supervisors has failed to provide proper oversight of the D.A. The District Attorney election in 2010 has very real consequences to the people of Contra Costa County (more than legislative elections) and needs to focus on important issues, most importantly the fundamental duty of the job – law enforcement, both criminal and civil.

Congratulations to Dan O’Malley – huge endorsement and just what Coco county needs in its next DA. Dan has the experience at all levels needed for this job.

This will really boil down to a great race between two very highly respected and competent individuals: Dan O’Malley and Mark Peterson.
