Bye, bye, “Live Shot” Garamendi! Here’s hoping that the “hot air” from your frequent cable TV interviews and your vacuous “I can ride a horse!” TV ads come back to bite you in your ample posterior! “The Proven Democrat” of 2009 now masquerades as “the independent fighter” in 2012. The more the people of Vacaville, Woodland, Marysville and Yuba City learn about you and your sordid history of cronyism (Garamendi Jr.’s $210,000-per-year U.C. Merced job while Garamendi Sr. sat on U.C. Merced Foundation board), ineptitude (Exec Life scandal) and political duplicity as a career politician (first elected to the Legislature in 1974) and corporate “Washington, D.C. investment partner,” the more that they will see right through your so-called “experience” and kick you into the dumpster of political oblivion.

I too like to see competitive races, those gerrymandered districts were just awful, they kept do nothing Congressman – like Pete Stark – in office for years. Stark has been semi-retired for at least a decade, he does almost no work whatsoever for his constituents. With all these people out of work you can’t have a slug for a Congressman- stakes too high now. I expect voters will give Stark walking papers in November. This Congressional candidate Eric Salwell has got Stark on the ropes in the 15th district, no question.

Nice to see some competitive Congressional races in CA, even if I don’t wish luck to the R’s.

Having lived in some of the other districts around the country mentioned in the full story, I found it interesting to see which races were being targeted by the R’s — either to flip or defend. November is going to be a feast for political junkies.
