1st Supe District Watch: Dina In (Again); Trung Out

Posted by: Jubal | 03/07/2008 12:31 PM

Garden Grove Councilwoman Dina Nguyen is now at the Registrar of Voters for her second attempt to complete filing for a 1st Supervisor District run, following yesterday's snafu.

I've learned Trung Nguyen -- who lost the Supervisor race last year to Janet by an excruciating 3 votes -- will not be returning his candidate papers.

"Trung doesn't file. Dina files Friday morning. Janet breaks 50% in June and will be the 1st District supervisor for the next 4 yrs. Jubal - I'd prefer the mugs!"

Do I have mugs on the way?

Highlander aka Art, "Trung doesn't file. Dina files Friday morning. Dina breaks 50% in june and will be the 1st District supervisor for the next 4yrs.

Yes, I'll give you the mug with our pretty, sweet Dina's picture on it!

student said:

If Trung doesn't file by today 5pm, Dina is going to become a shoo -in candidate because more than likely Trung will give his important endorsement to Dina.....do I see a 30 to 40 point advantage for Dina?

DIEPTHROAT said:

I'd definitely like to see Dina win...I've suspected for weeks he would not be running...the truth is his closest friends and ally were not sure what he would do even 2 days ago...

Trung giving his endorsement to Dina is definitely the right move...

stu said:

Dina lead by 50 point in new poll. She win easy. Janet gone.

Jubal said:

Student:

"50 points" now, is it? Why not 70%? Why not 80%?

I have a suggestion for Student, CRA Republican, etc.:

Before commenting, ask yourself: will what I'm about to write make me look intelligent, or like a hack?

Will it help the candidate I am supporting by making it seem like she attracts thoughtful supporters, or will it hurt her by associating her with jackanapes?

Just something to think about.

just...asking? said:

Thank you Jubal for interjecting some sanity! You probably thought you'd never hear that from me. While we rarely agree I do always respect you right to opine...just...asking?

Jubal said:

You're welcome. Some of these commenters make me want to call Vector Control.

Jubal,

Have you wondered why so many bloggers came out to spill the bean on Janet?

Jubal said:

It's not that many. It's just a large volume of comments being churned out by a handful of pro-/anti-Janet commenters.

cra republican said:

Hey hold your horses. Who would have really believed John McCain will be our republican pimary winner just few months ago? Certainly NOT Jubal! and many others I may add... You need to open your eyes and ears and most of all, your hearts!


There were very few who had real NUMBERS which indicated John McCain had REAL advantage over pollster's favorites!


Right now all signs indicate for Dina's success and I do believe there is about 40 point advantage over Janet in our local community.... after Trung decided not to run. It's going to be a fair fight and we are very excited.

I do remember Jubal making several wrong predictions in the past and this might be a another one.

Jubal said:

Of course I've made wrong predictions. Who hasn't?

But when you say "this might be a another one," what exactly are you talking about?

The Effect of Janet's past betrayals said:

Jubal,

I agree that these number are silly and some of these comments warrent Vector Control, but I'd be interested to hear your take on how all of these serious charges about Janet's past betrayals of Tran, Quach and Dina Nguyen are going to effect the perception of Janet in GOP activist and donor communities?

Are people going to start quietly hedging thier bets and give/support both?

student said:

even janet will endorse dina

dina leads in polls by 101%

student said:

Jubal, someone is using my handle........ perhaps people from Janet's vaction home in Santa Ana.


The pre-game dance is over now and let's all help with Dina's campaign.

More victims said:

Effect,

There are more victims of Janet Nguyen, even when they were supporting her. The public and all Republicans need to hear from GG School Board President Lan Nguyen and even Trung Nguyen, who were both of Janet's endorsers and supporters as recent as her brief '06 Assembly race. In the course of less than a year, Janet managed to burn them too, which led Trung to run for Supervisor against her.

We need to hear from these people and how they were betrayed by Janet Nguyen. Unfortunately, Janet attracts trouble because she creates trouble, for no reason, against others. It's just her plain insecurity, immaturity, and stupidity.

Been Hurt said:

Jubal, Janet has personally attacked me..... (and shown no remorse)..... for this I will fight her until the end of time as long as she involves herself in politics.

I watched her lie to get ahead, and will never forgive her. Yes, the commenters may be few, but this blog serves as an outlet for the pain she has caused us.

I see all these posts about the wrong that Janet Nguyen has done to everyone but no one is specific. Just what has she done? I am truly curious.

If you read all the posts on this blog relating to Janet Nguyen or the First Supe Race, you will see specific horror stories on Janet.

Also, talk to her former employers, mentors, supporters, colleagues, who are now working against her. There are many victims. You know who they are. You will hear stories from them for sure.
