This came over the transom from Brian Nestande's campaign for the 64th Assembly district:

2008 Races, 64th Assembly District
I am in the blogpen of Placer - I have been hearing a lot about the 64th... could someone take the time to fill me in on this?

...This race for the 64th Assembly District seat has been an interesting one to say the least. First it appeared that it was going to be long time Inland Empire GOP activist Angel Sanchez against a relatively unknown, but successful businesswoman Rose Girard. Then Cal Baptist University Professor and stand up COMEDIAN John Pate entered the race with another businesswoman Kelly McCarty, who I frankly don't know much about entering the race right behind Pate. My only interaction with McCarty was a Young Republican forum where she only had a minute or two to speak, but took a hard line against illegal immigration.
As what some would describe as a "border-security-nut," that is always music to my ears.
So you had Sanchez, Girard, Pate and McCarty. For some reason, (to spend more time with her family, I'm sure) Rose Girard dropped out of the race and her political consultant and long-time GOP operative Brian Nestande got in the race. Nestande seems to be picking up many of the establishment endorsements that one might expect Angel Sanchez to pick up, but that may be because Angel Sanchez has suspended his campaign and effectively dropped out of the race.
Two separate blogs about Angel dropping out were written without any denial or confirmation from the campaign.
And lastly, if the recent Red County post below is authentic, it seems that John Pate is also dropping out of the race for the 64th Assembly District and we are down to a two man (person) fight...
