How I'm Voting, Part One
Posted by: Jubal | 10/15/2008 9:11 AM
I'm filling out the old vote-by-mail ballot, and thought I'd share my progress with OC Blog readers:
President and Vice President
John McCain/Sarah Palin: While McCain's moves on the bailout are maddening, in the big picture he is vastly preferable to putting a de facto socialist in the White House with Congress in the hands of de facto socialist leadership.
U.S. Representative, CD40
Ed Royce: Ed rocks. Nuff said.
State Senator SD33
Mimi Walter: Another easy one. Mimi is a star.
State Assembly, AD60
Curt Hagman: I'll admit I wish I were filling in the rectangle for Larry Dick, but I'm proud to have Curt represent me in the Assembly.
Superior Court Judge, Office 12
Kermit Marsh: Kermit is a conservative man of integrity, intelligence and principle who will make an outstanding judge. Plus, it's good to leaven the bench with some non-prosecutors.
Rancho Santiago Community College District, Trustee Area 1
Haven''t decided yet.
Rancho Santiago Community College District, Trustee Area 3
Lisa Woolery: Another easy one. Lisa is a solid conservative, has rock solid ethics (ask Al Amezcua) and knows what she is doing.
Orange Unified School District, Trustee Area 3
Let's see: Hard-left labor lawyer and union candidate Florice Hoffman? Jerry "Please Elect Me To Something!" Winant? Or conservative Republican Alexia Deligianni? Another easy one: vote for Deligianni.
Orange Unified School District, Trustee Area 6
Arianna Barrios: I've talked at length to Arianna, and I think she brings much needed independent thought to an OUSD Board of Trustees majority characterized by groupthink and hostility to ideas from non-majority trustees. If independent Trustee Rick Ledesma discovered a cure for cancer, they'd oppose it because he discovered it.
OC Water District Director, Division 2
Denis R. Bilodeau: Another easy one. Denis is conservative, active and thinks.
Proposition 1A: High Speed Rail Bond
NO: Exactly how much bonded indebtedness do we want to hang around the neck of this and future generations of California taxpayers? I'm actually a believer in high-speed rail, but it ought to be a private enterprise. If government wants to facilitate the development of high-speed rail, the proper means for doing so is to remove tax, regulatory and legal barriers that artificially drive up it's cost. Then, if money can be made from high-speed rail systems, the market will step forward to make it happen.
Stay tuned...

Anonymous, you have an excellent point. Sometimes people become annoyed by a person or event, to the extent...
OC Water District Director, Division 2-Denis R. Bilodeau
Word of warning- Denis thinks it's OK to violate the 11th commandment "Thou shall talk no ill of a fellow Republican"
Superior Court Judge, Office 12:
How is it that someone with so much integrity routinely fails to comply with local campaign laws by NOT filing campaign reports so citizens can see who is contributing to his campaign? A Judge should, first and foremost, follow the law. Scofflaws don't usually make good judges.
Also, I'd rather have more prosecutors, and fewer political hacks, on the bench.
What about your city races and measure J
