Huff is another one of these cocktail reception Republicans who is really please he voted against the water bond or transportation bond but does nothing to expand our party or fix our State.

I'd be shocked if Tran doesn't pull his endorsement of Huff within the week.

Seriously, what Democrat has Huff ever tryed to take out? Ever?

Even if Tran doesn't pull the endorsement, I bet mail and calls to the thousands of Asian Republicans in the district will be for Mountjoy.

Look at the CRA endorsement in that race if you want to see which side Tran is working on. Here is a hint: Huff didn't get it.

If the CRA is so impressed with Huff, why didn't they endorse him?

Besides Tran and Mountjoy were seatmates in the legislature and both understand that is about working to take out Democrats, not grandstanding about 84% vs. 90%.

And just for the record, the 2006 score for Tran is incorrect. Tran had the same score as Ray Haynes in 2006.

Van Tran has become a laughing stock. He as has let his hatred for one person who beat him ruin his career. And you are right about his record - he is NO conservative. Last year Van was going around the back of his fellow Reps in the Assembly on eminent domain, trying to cut his own deal with the Lg. of Cities. Huff is more conservative than Van by a long shot.

Been Around,

You sounded like a lime -- pretty sour. Nobody is laughing. If anything, Tran's not your type of "blow in the wind" Zinfandel Republican. He actually work to mobilize the GOP base. You don't undertsand that very well, obviously. Making accusations against Tran and his people without evidence seem to be your MO. Give it up, man, with your hatred and slander.

Good for Van Tran in endorsing Dennis Mountjoy. At least Mountjoy means what he said and you can count on him as a straight shooter. What has Huff ever done for anybody other than for himself?

The "Loser's association" is attacking our #1 good republican assembly leader Van Tran.......... yes on Saturday afternoon.

They (Dems operatives) must be still upset with Laker's game last night.

Been around the Dem's dumpster, I think you have been collecting too many old beer cans from wrong places.
Drinking left over beer from old cans are creating major confusion in your train of thoughts.....

" he(Van) is no conservative...." what a joke!

Start charging little more for your recycled beer cans from your "Loser" customers so that one day you can buy your own fresh can of beer.

Has Janet been paying you on time lately?

Highlander, aka, Bob Huff Staffer,

Let's have a little perspective and a lot more fairness with the CRA scorecard when you go out of your way to discredit Assemblyman Van Tran. In '06, Tran got a score of 76, the same with Conservative Ray Hyanes.

How about the other Conservative Assembly members? A quick but incomplete sampling of the scorecard shows how our other Conservatives are doing, according to the CRA:

John Benoit -- 71
Russ Bogh -- 71
Rick Keene -- 71
Tim Leslie -- 71
George Plescia -- 71
Sharon Runner -- 71

There are many other GOP Assembly members who even scored lower. Wonder why you don't talk about that?

How about our esteeemed GOP senators in '06?

Let's take a quick peek:

Dick Ackerman -- 71
Roy Ashburn -- 71
Bob Dutton -- 53
Bob Margett -- 71
Bill Morrow -- 71
George Runner -- 71
Chuck Poochigian -- 71

There are also a number of GOP Senate members who scored substabtially lower. Would you call some of these guys and gals Liberal?

Let's try to be fair and less selective with your facts here. You've just undermined your own post with your selective facts.

If the CRA votes in the various units was done by secret ballot, Huff would have won the day.

It is so odd that the votes would be done way out in the open, which opens up intimidation by the CRA old guard (i.e. Daddy Mountjoy).

The CRP elections are done in secret ballot, especially for tight races like the recent National Committeeman race between Shawn Steel and Tim Morgan.

Attacking a state lawmaker in your first post already huh? Sounds like our new contributor have an axe to grind.

Tomahawk accusing someone of having an axe to grind! That is rich!!

I am still upset with Laker's game last night.

Can we get a freakin call in Utah or what?

LMAO,

Axes to grind? Don't even bother with the axes. Let Janet Nguyen and her cohorts bring over some sharp knives. They stick 'em in pretty good, especially against fellow Repblicans.

Who is Janet Nguyen? What are you talking about?

LMAO,

Janet Nguyen is a three-vote Supervisor from the OC. She has a confirmed reputation of sabotaging and "stabbing" those who were her mentors and helpers. She left a long trail of political blood in her tracks. Huff knows all about it, too.

oh, her.

Yawn.

Everybody - Tomahawk is a confirmed Van Tran staff member. Keep that in mind.

Tomahawk is NOT Van Tran staff member. You are silly to post that.

You all are silly to post alias names. For starters, Why don't you all post YOUR real names? Show your face to the world!

"Forget said" = "For starters, Why don't you all post YOUR real names? Show your face to the world"....

I say, "let it begin with you "Forget said"...what is YOUR real name? You might understand why people put in here "anonymous" or other titles, because "Forget said" there is much vindictiveness in the Van Tran camp. He practically runs the CRA now in addition to that, so wonder all you wish but....

I saw Van Tran taking note of how people voted on the endorsement of Janet Nguyen at last month's central committee meeting. And it does seem like all the phone calls and threats to republicans (one of which he is supposed to be) that if they endorsed Janet he would endorse their republican opponents in the primary is coming true.

Why can't you trannies open your eyes and see that the rhetoric about Janet being a backstabber must have originated from her great mentor's camp, Van Tran. He is being true to his word and stabbing in the back all the fellow republicans he previously endorsed by endorsing their opponents.

You follow your leader so blindly you cannot see the truth.

VAN TRAN #1

He is our Great and Gloriously Revered Leader!

plus he signs my paychecks

Is it three votes or seven votes? Didn't Trung Nguyen and his freebie lawyers, aka the losers association, lose the court case?

According to the Registrar of Voters, Janet Nguyen was elected as Supervisor by coming in seven up!

Speaking of not paying your bills, when is Trung going to pay up? Come on, he already got his own lawyers for free.

"Why can't you trannies open your eyes and see that the rhetoric about Janet being a backstabber must have originated from her great mentor's camp, Van Tran."

What about Jimmy Camp and Ken Maddox? Jimmy isn't part of Van's team and he seems to have a real issue with Janet. Ken Maddox is her longest term employer and he hates her.

And I love how all of the cocktail reception GOPers totally discount the other 6 local Vietnamese Republicans' opinion on her - Like they don't have their own minds. They are even more upset with Janet's past betrayals than Van Tran is.

CRA's fuzzy math.
As a former unit president of the CRA I did oversee voting of candidates for local and statewide office. To receive the endorsement requires a 2/rds vote of approval. Now if you have 40 credentialed voting members and only 26 votes for Dennis Mountjoy, does that represent 2/3rds?

Somehow, I am told by an attendee, that one of the 40 ballots cast after the first ballot at that meeting disappeared. How convenient! Fourteen members claim that they voted for Bob Huff. How difficult can it be to find and count 40 votes?? Was a Huff representative locked out of the area where votes were counted? A sad day for CRA.

What about Camp and Maddox:

Jimmy Camp commented on this blog, "I did speak with Dave Gilliard this afternoon and any confusion regarding payment for my services was resolved and I think that all parties are satisfied with the outcome and I appreciate the fact that the campaign was willing to resolve this matter." Case closed.

As far as Maddox is concerned, he's moved on to south Orange County. He works for Michelle Steel. He running for school board. He's no longer an employer.

Am I the only one that sees painful irony in calling Huff, not Mountjoy, a Cocktail Republican?

Very good comment. My Favorit Blog Autoversicherung

I find Bob Huff to be one of the FEW legislators in Sacrmento with a functioning brain. Perhaps it is because he had a real job before he became involved in politics.

Sacramento is inhabited by people who cannot balance their own checkbooks, let alone the State budget. Some are as sharp as beach balls.

I have to go every year to Sacramento to ask the legislators to quit overspending and stealing local govenment money. Huff is the first 60th AD legislator since Gary Miller to listen.

If you don't believe me, then go to the websites for both candidates and add up the local endorsements.
