Erhm…isn’t Alex Tourk actually Stark’s campaign strategist, not Swalwell’s?

Josh, while Stark may have not fallen asleep in the debate, you’ve got to think somewhere in the great beyond the late George P. Miller is having fun watching the dodering Stark get taken apart by this rising your Democratic star Eric Swalwell!

Stark has a strategist?

Who could have guessed?

@10 – No, Truthclubber, Alex Tourk is Stark’s campaign strategist, not Swalwell’s.

@7 –

“Moderate Voter” is English for “Alex Tourk” — you know, the guy that was pals with Gavin Newsom until Gavie started bangin’ his wife when she wasn’t busy working on Gavie’s mayoral staff (pun intended) — and is now Swalwell’s campaign manager.

Just sayin’.

Pete Stark is nothing but a grumpy OLD bully these days! I just read what he said at the end of the debate at East Bay Citizen — way to be gracious to your opponent when he goes out of his way to shake your hand!

I found it highly ironic that Pete decided to use the “you wouldn’t want a surgeon with no experience” line — I wouldn’t want an 80 year old surgeon! Out with the old, in with the new — even if the old will do all they can to keep their grip on power.

Ol’ Pete is perfectly fitted for yelling at boys : “Get your ball and stay the hell off my lawn! Go play somewhere else!”

@ #2 Moderate Voter

Moderate voter is your average hardworking “blue collar worker” who references UC Berkeley economic reports and speaks the lingo of a DC campaign consultant.

Any reason why the forum is not available online?

Josh –

There’s a reason why Guy Houston crossed over the aisle to endorse Eric Swalwell — perhaps Fortney found out what that reason was…
