Recieved another mailer from the Mimi Walters for Senate campaign at Casa de Jubal today, but no mail from the Harry Sidhu campaign for a few days.

Maybe we fell off their universe (three of Casa de Jubal's four voters are vote-by-mail) and maybe it's a byproduct of some Machiavellian, under-the-target, crypto-targeting by Sidhu consultants Coronado Communications.

Who knows.

What I do know is the GBWA-produced mailer from Mimi -- centered on her endorsement by outgoing SD33 Senator Dick Ackerman -- is very good. Big, eye-catching, and the voter can absorb the "endorsed candidate" message in a few seconds.



The positive message is a welcome relief from the general nastiness that has thus far prevailed in the SD33 campaign - a nastiness that warranted inclusion in Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters column today:

The two nastiest primary contests, however, may be among Republicans for two open state Senate seats in Southern California.

In the Orange County's 33rd Senate District former Senate GOP leader Dick Ackerman's departure due to term limits has set up a no-holds-barred fight between Assemblywoman Mimi Walters and Anaheim City Councilman Harry Sidhu, and both campaigns are airing television ads attacking the other for alleged character defects. While Sidhu hammers Walters for casting pro forma votes for Democrat Fabian Núñez as speaker of the Assembly, she hits him for being soft on illegal immigration.
