Mr. Walter Stanley misunderstands the Elections Code regarding appointments to Central Committees. He is citing sections 7460-7470, where the law allows a Committee to let Assembly Districts appoint their own members. However these sections are not active unless implemented by the Committee’s bylaws (stated in sec. 7460)! Sorry, but the entire central committee gets to vote on its members.

Why not try to get along with people, rather than fighting windmills?

I don’t get it. When did judgeships become consolation prizes for unsuccessful politicos? As for “electing” these guys and gals, it’s no improvement on appointments. The “special interests” everybody here seems to fear like the plague, knows how to find friendly courts.

Did someone use the word Liberal and GOP as respective adjective and a corresponding noun? Surely there must be a line of type missing somewhere. Those two words have not been linked for two generations now.

who doesn’t enjoy watching partisan infighting? It makes for good humor writing fodder.

Rules are rules. Don’t break them and you don’t have to resign.

Don’t worry BJD, the liberal GOP remains in firm control of the party despite Tea parties, MM, or Paulers. Nothing will change either way between Dems or Republicans. You can play the fiddle as Rome burns. Surely you will enjoy this sick pleasure…

Paul Cummings may have won the lawsuit but he and his anti-gun/pro-war friends are still a bunch of losers!

Paul Cummings legacy is this: He filed a lawsuit against Republican volunteers. What a fantastic receipe for permanant minority status. I’m sure the Democrats will be laughing all the way to the ballot box in 2010.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the vacancies. Cummings has already asserted that he is all for reappointing the members in question should they resign. After all he is just interested in “doing what is right.” The only problem is he is turning out to be a liar. When Leah Fargo was reappointed by her AD Cummings was foremost in apposing her. So much for doing what is right. That is the caliber of folks in control of the Republican Party in Alameda County. Choose for yourself who you want running the party, as for me, I don’t trust liars.
