1st Supe District Watch: Part 2 of Bolsavik's Interview With Dina Nguyen
Posted by: Jubal | 04/29/2008 1:43 PM
The Bolsavik has posted Part Two of his interview with Dina Nguyen (Part 1 is here). It's more freewheeling and interesting than the usual by-the-numbers candidate interview.
The best part when Bolsavik asks Dina about her campaign staff, and she gets all cagey:
Dina is eventually going to have to disclose their secret identities on her May 22 campaign report, so why take the 5th?

The best part when Bolsavik asks Dina about her campaign staff, and she gets all cagey:
The conversation went to her campaign. Who's your campaign manager? "Tim Clark is my campaign consultant." That's the "Clark" in JohnsonClark Associates, one of the state's top GOP campaign consulting companies. Right, so the professional is the consultant. But who's your campaign manager?Whaaaa...?
"I divided the job into four areas and I have four people in charge of the four areas," Dina said. "Finance, Ground Operation, Mailer, and Volunteers."
OK. And the four people in charge are?
"Well, two of the people don't want to be known, so I'd rather not name any of the four."
That's a surprise.
Why does a campaign worker not want to be known?
Not exactly a profession for the publicity shy, no?
"Two of them don't want to be known because they still want to work with other people, politically," Dina explained.
The conversation went round-and-round for a while, and the bottom line seems to be that of the four operatives, two are Vietnamese and two are not. Of the two that don't want to be known, one is Viet and one is not. Both are apparently office holders with projects that may require cooperation from the Janet Nguyen camp. Other than that, no names.
How about Saulo Londono, the former campaign manager for Trung Nguyen, generally credited with spearheading an absentee-ballot campaign that brought the candidate within 3 votes of winning? "No, it's all new people, nobody from Trung Nguyen's team."
Dina is eventually going to have to disclose their secret identities on her May 22 campaign report, so why take the 5th?

You can read more interesting things over on the Liberal OC Blog about Dina Nguyen....and her backers...and Andy Quach out filming people playing with Dina's signs... This whole election is getting so hinkey from the Dina side that it is indeed beginning to be entertaining.
Thanks for linking.
We may not know the names of the people even after the May statements come out: The statements won't disclose anyone's name if they're not getting paid.
If they are not getting paid shouldn't they be listed as "in kind contributors/contributions???"
Anon 4:11 - If they contribute things (donuts, etc.) then yes. But if all they contribute is time, then no.
She's not very bright is she?
