1st Supe District Watch: Doh! Dina Nguyen Turned In Wrong Form

Posted by: Jubal | 03/06/2008 12:55 PM

Oops! The minutes-old Dina Nguyen for Supervisor campaign has hit its first snag. She has the necessary 40 signatures -- but they are on the wrong form.

Dina has 40 signatures on her petitions in lieu of form, instead of on the nomination form.

That wouldn't be a problem if Dina had turned in the sigs-in-lieu before last week's deadline -- then those signatures could be used for her nomination.

Upshot: she'll have to go back out and get the same 40 signatures again on the right form. They'll likely be back in the morning to complete the filing.

That crack Van Tran machine strikes again.

Questions said:

According to the Register, Truong Diep was there helping Dina with her paperwork. Isn't he a state employee who works for Van Tran? Is he doing this on taxpayer's time?

I would be on the road to be an Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting criminals

We are watching the picture of very presentable next supervisor. Dina will cruise this election.

student said:

Art, is it true that more than half of Janet's nomination signatures are from registered liberal Dems?

Fraizier said:

Whoops...sounds like the Dina camp really has their act together

student said:

Fraizier, yes by not associating with Obama voters/ liberal Dems. Our good coservative republicans will prevail. Go Dina!

Student, what are you reading...the title of this post is...Doh! Dina Nguyen Turned In Wrong Form

Maybe someone should help her fill out the forms like they helped those voters fill out their ballots in the special election. Oh never mind those ballots were thrown out when Janet stole that election.

Think a time out would be good until correct papers are filed sometime tomorrow.

Fraizier said:

just because I am not leaning towards your Republican candidate (who doesn't even have the correct forms to turn in to run) doesn't make me a Dem / Obama Liberal...guy

student said:

Just keep asking, you do agree that Dina is very presentable supervisor........ look at the picture!


Friedzier, ask your room mate Art, who is Obama?

Janets anteater fund said:

I'd rather file the wrong form than spend $100,000 of taxpayer money on an anteater exhibit at the Santa Ana Zoo or ignore campaign finance law for almost two months.

Janet's not running such a tight ship either, as anyone at the Feb. Central Committee mtg already knows.

Little Saigon politics are always messy, but I'd much rather go with someone who opposes fees like Dina did on Council than someone who raises them (like Janet did for seatbelt tickets to fund illegal immigrant healthcare.)

The machine needs to work out its kink. Everyone is watching.

cra republican said:

I am delighted..... Dina Nguyen is going to be our next supe., as some one said earlier, she is very nice + intelligent person. I am proud of Dina

Anonymous said:

Reading the rants from Janet Nguyen and her hired help on this blog makes one choked up with laughter.

On the one hand, they tried and tried so hard to knock on Dina and Trung, but on the other hand, they tried sooooooo darn hard that they give a clear impression for everyone to see that they are actually fearful of their opponents.

Psychology at its best.

just...asking? said:

Student,

Did you really just ask me if I thought Dina was cute? What does a candidates picture have to do with anything? Is McCain cute? Presentable? Is Romney better looking?

Why don't you spend some time asking Dina what she will do as supervisor of the first district. I'd like to know...

What is her position on the pending re-organization of departments?

What is her postition on employee pension plans?

What is her position on the ongoing issues with OCSD?

What is her positon with Animal control services?

What is her position with Gas Tax funds being returned to cities at a fair rate?

What is her position on Tin Cup 2?

What is her position on LAFCO recommendations?

What is her position on OC San District fee hikes?

What is her position on mass tranit projects? Which would she support?

What is her position on medical marijuana centers?

What is her position on affordable housing?

These are the issues candidates should be promoting positions about, not who is the daddy of a baby or other internal party/cultural issues.

student said:

Just keep asking..aka Art, Dina will NOT support your call for legal prostitution and drug use in California.
No, she will not support all your liberal agendas destroying our state........ No, she will not salute to commie flags under the notion of freedom of speech.......No, she won't label our great USA a "Talibanism" country........................


When will you or Janet start respecting our great country and our good republicans???

student said:

Just keep asking, aka Art, I was also informed that you are constantly speaking against our good christians/Catholics ................ Good move just in time for your Janet's Supe. election! Art just keep messing things up for your Janet, soon to be a loser!

just...asking? said:

Student,

Your evidently very new to OC blogs, if you've done any checking at all you'll find that I am a devout Catholic. I practice my teachings and practice forgiveness. I do not however condone abuse of children who cannot defend themselves, and yes that would include priests and those who shield them from justice.

student said:

Just keep asking, aka Art, remember, poor Janet should have never made you her room mate! You are the part of reason/problem for her losing effort in this election! Obama voter can do only so much for losing candidate......making it worse...sad!

Art Pedroza said:

I am not just keep asking. I don't blog anon. Ever.

I do think that Dina's filing error says a lot about her. She is not ready for prime time.

Why would the voters replace a capable incumbent with a green council candidate that cannot even file the right way the first time?

Jubal said:

Student:

As I said to you on another comment thread: whatever one may think of Art, he attaches his name to his comments.

Anonymous said:

Arturo,

Did Janet, an experienced politician, violate both state law and county regulation in opening an illegal defense fund. And she didn't disclose until OC Blog, OC Register's Total Buzz and The Liberal OC blog turned on a daily watch and demanded a full disclosure. I would take a fresh politician as Dina Nguyen any time.

just...asking? said:

student,

I also do not use other nom-de-plumes...

disgusted of the Trannies said:

I will not be spreading personal rumors about other people on this blog.
