The Lincoln Club of Orange County has announced their endorsements for the June 2012 primary election. TIming was right for their picks as absentee ballots dropped this week. One notable candidate missing from this list is State Senate Republican leader Bob Huff of the 29th District. Huff has had a rough couple of weeks with the CRP forgetting to endorse him as well.

I am a fan of fun political advertisements as can be seen from my post of the Ed Lee for San Francisco Mayor video that I posted here. Despite the fact that Nguyen hates the video, I do enjoy the humor.
We now have Dan Hughes a United States Senate candidate that his put together his own video of randomness. The video includes lots of things that are funny including singing eagles, Street Fighter, and Chuck Devore.
The video can be viewed by clicking here.
In all seriousness, I do not really care who the nominee is between Dan Hughes, Elizabeth Emken, and Al Ramirez as long as the nominee is not Orly Taitz. If Orly Taitz is the nominee for Republicans in November we are in serious trouble of losing every competitive seat in California.

This evening Barack Obama drops by our quiet little state to pick up roughly $15 Million dollars from a few Hollywood types who agree with his stance that it’s unfair that they have so much money.
But what if that money went towards a better cause?
Roughly 46 children are diagnosed with cancer every day in the USA.
What if we each wrote a check today to CHOC instead of our favorite politician
You can by clicking here
Or what if instead we gave it to support those wounded warriors and their families who know what struggle and sacrifice really is.
Those brave warriors and their families can be helped by clicking here

We got another mailer yesterday from the No on 29 campaign. The mailer was similar to the John Campbell piece that I posted earlier being an 8.5 x 11 that folds out into an 8.5 x 22. Overall the lack of color to the piece makes it appear very bland and I don’t know that it will get the attention from the voters that it needs in order to make an impact:

Congressman John Campbell had another mailer that arrived at my house today. He is clearly taking this race very seriously. As of today I have yet to hear of a piece from either of his opponents John Webb or Sukhee Kang. However, Kang does have the most signs up in the district as of earlier this morning.
The mail piece was an 8.5 x 11 that folds out into an 8.5 x 22 piece. I have scanned the piece into four different files:

Editors’ Note: It’s official. The Orange County Registrar of Voters finally mailed absentee ballots yesterday. That means the first absentee ballots in Orange County arrive today. Campaigns: were you ready?
This came over the wire from the Registrar of Voters yesterday…
Vote-by-Mail Ballots Mailed
May 9, 2012 – Our trucks are being loaded and vote-by-mail ballots are heading out to voters this afternoon. We are mailing 650,000 total in our permanent vote-by-mail files. In addition, we are mailing ballots to no-party preference voters who have requested a party ballot (17,000 total). We make sure the majority of sample ballots have reached voters so they have access to candidate statements before this crucial mailing.

This election has been bizarre. Over the past few weeks we have written posts about some of the wildest things that we have witnessed, including:
Central Committee Candidate Signs
Central Committee Candidate Hit Piece
Central Committee Candidate Fundraiser
We now have a story that tops all of these in the world of the bizarre. 2 candidates for Congress in the 47th Congressional district live in the same house and neither of them is carpetbagging.
Dr. Jay Shah and his wife Usha Shah are both running for the same Congressional district. We here at OC Political found that a bit odd due to the fact that this decreases what were already slim odds on advancing to the November election. Perhaps they thought that Proposition 14 would allow voters to vote for 2 candidates to advance to the November election.
Whatever the reason they apparently also decided to split costs on signs by having a joint sign for both candidates that have started going up around Garden Grove and other parts of the district.
I think most readers would agree that the lone Democrat to advance to November will likely be Alan Lowenthal. It will be interesting to see which Shah finishes ahead of the other.
