Anaheim Mailbox: Major Typo, I Am Finally Caught Up

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on November 1, 2012

My mailbox had just 3 Anaheim mailers in it today. One of them hitting Lucille Kring made a major typo that I am surprised no one caught (See if you can spot it). Scoreboard today is as follows:

Brandman/Lodge Positive- 1
Leos Negative- 1
Kring Negative- 1

Here is the piece sent out from OC Tax supporting Jordan Brandman and Steve Lodge: Read the rest of this entry »

Anaheim Mailbox: 11 More Mailers

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on November 1, 2012

Anaheim mail continues to be an exercise in insanity. The scoreboard from the last couple of mailers is as follows:

Leos Positive- 4
Leos Negative- 2
Lodge Positive- 1
Brandman Positive- 2
Brandman Negative- 2
Kring Negative- 1

Let’s now take a look at the pieces. John Leos first sent out 3 small pieces that were not of the highest quality: Read the rest of this entry »

Anaheim Mailbox: &@#$%$

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on October 29, 2012

Really? I cannot believe how much mail rolled in this weekend from the Anaheim City Council race. The one interesting thing that I have been able to deduct is that we are down to 4 serious contenders for the 2 seats. Lucille Kring, John Leos, Jordan Brandman, and Steve Chavez-Lodge.

4 pieces came in this weekend. 1) Kring positive piece, 2) Leos positive piece 3) Leos hit piece 4)Kring hit piece.

Here is the first piece from Lucille Kring that not only will have a positive impact on her campaign but also will hurt the candidacy of OUSD Area 3 candidate Bob Ausmus (Retired Inglewood Policeman).

California Mailbox: Awesome Job CRP

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on October 29, 2012

The CRP sent me a huge disappointment this weekend. I will note that this was sent to Anaheim Hills. Please  review before I go any further:

Did you spot the problem with the mailer because I am still trying to figure out why Don Wagner and Mimi Walters are not on here. Let me get this straight, you want me to, “Take this with you to the polls.” I am not going to take this to the polls because none of the candidates on this live within 200 miles of me, am I also supposed to vote in the Nevada Presidential race.

After some investigating it appears that this slate mailer directs you to a website http://www.cagop.yourvoterguide.com/ which is where you can get your personalized ballot. The problem is that 90% of people who get this slate are not going to read it that closely and of the 10% that do only 50% of them will actually go to the website (who wants to do the math on that).

After testing the website a bit I also noticed that apparently they have no clue how to include local candidates that cross over into multiple cities.

The good news is that none of my Democrat friends have received anything from the CA Democratic Party or the DPOC but if you are going to do a slate mailer you might as well do it right.

Proposition Mailbox: Yes On 32/No On 30 & Yes On 37

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on October 28, 2012

I am starting to combine the mail pieces that go up in posts because so much stuff is going out. Chris Nguyen has the misfortune of being spammed by both the Chen and Royce campaigns in his household. At my house it has been pretty quite in the Campbell vs. Kang race.

The first piece was a folded up Yes on 32/No on 30 mailer:

Here is the No on 37 piece. The messaging is pretty strong:

Santa Ana Mailbox: Pulido Gets Hit

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on October 28, 2012

This was sent to us from a reader in Santa Ana. It is a mail piece hitting Miguel Pulido pretty hard on his voting record and lack of support. The problem that exists is that Pulido is still the clear front-runner and unless something earth shattering happens in the next 8 days will remain Mayor in Santa Ana. Take a look at the hit piece below:

Tustin Mailbox: Nasty Hit Pieces Fly In Tustin

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on October 27, 2012

Here is the first one:

Here is the second one:

Here is the third piece:
