It’s unfortunate that some of these Republican candidates would get so many more votes if they were cool about gay rights. That’s the one big thing that half of California won’t bend on. They want an open and progressive state that is fiscally responsible. Unfortunately for many of these great Republican candidates are going to lose simply for that tiny little opposition to gays.

For what it is worth, the Secretary of State maintains the state’s domestic partnership registry. My partner and I were the 49th to be registered when it was made legal in 1994. A very big deal for us and or our families. I only wish my mother had lived to see it. And, more importantly to us, we had the great honor to have our 19 year relationship formalized when we married June 17 2008. Again, with family and friends present, I wish my mother could have seen that historic day, as well. So mock us, but it is, truly, about motherhood and my family.

“and not progressive on gay rights. But those issues are hardly within the scope of Secretary of State”

Good old Jerry Brown’s official description of Prop. 8 made it sound as if a Yes vote would repeal motherhood retroactively. Jerry’s ballot descriptions for propositions always adhered exactly to the PC dimmiecrat party line.

When you hear Damon Dunn speak, he makes a pretty convincing case that his track record of civic involvement outweighs his non-voting. He even gets past the irony of somebody who hasn’t voted pursuing the Sec of State office, of all things, by pointing out other functions of the office that don’t relate to elections. Hey, me Democrat, him Republican. But, I’m tellin’ ya, until you’ve heard this guy talk, don’t “misunderestimate” him.

Can’t the Republicans find someone who actually has a voting record?
Better yet, maybe the Republicans that are elected to the Legislature should take a hint from this non-voting trend and stop voting in the legislature.

Concerned:
Why would Jim Brulte support anyone out side his circle?
Maybe to get votes from the other side. Also that’s a old picture of the big guy.

I heard this guy interviewed by Gil Gross on KGO radio this afternoon. He is totally impressive. Very dynamic. I’m a socially liberal/fiscally-minded Democrat, and I’m not keen on the fact that he is “pro-life” and not progressive on gay rights. But those issues are hardly within the scope of Secretary of State. Mostly, he seems to be about fiscal responsibility, promoting economic and job growth and good government. I think Deborah Bowen has done a good job on election integrity issues, but I think a race between her and Damon Dunn would be great.

Josh, please pass along this advice to Damon Dunn. Run for Alameda County Clerk first. As he never has voted in an election until this past May, he night learn some things. After all, “Experience is the best teacher,” and he has next to none. He is, after all, a “recovering non-voter” and needs to slow down to gain that experience.
