News Roundup -- 2008
Jan's done. See "Elephant Fight." If we truly want a Republican City Attorney, it is time to rally around Maienschein.
Maienschein's staff needs to quit posting on this blog. I used to laugh every time I read a blog about Mainschein making a good city attorney. Now it just makes me cringe. Jan IS the republican in the race and will pull through into the runoff. He is the ONLY one who can beat Aguirre. Enough said.
Jan may be able to beat Aguirre, but he can't beat Scott Peters. Maienschein can because he is the only one that can beat Peters in his own back yard: The voter-rich northern part of our City.
And by the way, I have never worked, nor do I currently work for Brian Maienschein. I am just trying to prevent the train wreck that The Republican Party seems intent on causing.
