Special-Interest Spitzer Spends $301,247 or $5.84 Per Vote; Pauly Spends $20,034 or $0.86 Per Vote
Posted by The Rock of OC on June 12, 2012
Nguyen and Emami granted HBK one last post about the Third Supervisorial District but they also granted me one last post about the race between Deborah Pauly and Todd Spitzer.
Half-Term Career Politician Spitzer didn’t even wait for election night to end before “He also confirmed that he plans to run for Orange County district attorney if the office is open in 2014.” http://www.ocregister.com/news/pauly-357524-spitzer-county.html
The great columnist, Steven Greenhut, called Spitzer out on it: http://www.calwatchdog.com/2012/06/06/spitzer-already-disses-his-voters/
Special-Interest Spitzer spent $301,247 to get 51,607 votes, which equals $5.84 per vote.
Pauly spent $20,034 to get 23,305 votes, which equals $0.86 per vote.
If Pauly had spent $301,247, her $0.86 per vote rate would have produced more than 350,000 votes.
If Spitzer had spent $20,034, his $5.84 per vote rate would have produced just 3,400 votes.
It’s clear the Third Supervisorial District race was another example of big money from unions beating the people.
However, it’s only a matter of time before the people rise up and fight back. The people of Wisconsin have already risen up. When will the people of California?

Deb Pauly Only Garnered 5.5% of Vote?
Posted by HBK on June 11, 2012
I have been allowed to make one last post regarding the 3rd Supervisorial District race with the understanding that The Rock of OC would also get to make one last post and so I planned a sort of tongue in cheek post about Deb Pauly, Steve Rocco and the Orange County Tin Foil Hat Society.
As someone who witnessed Steve Rocco win in an unbelievable shock back in 2004 I did not expect him to garner more than 10% of the vote in his race for Supervisor. Shockingly he managed to get 26% of the vote. This leads me to conclude that 26% of the vote can be labeled the crazy vote.
With Deb Pauly garnering 31% of the vote in her race we can only conclude that she garnered the 26% of the crazy vote and picked 5% of people who actually made a rational decision to vote for her.
I made an agreement with Nguyen and Emami that I would no longer post about this particular race after this who have the same agreement with The Rock of OC. Therefore, I feel it important to ask readers to let me know what other issues in the North Orange County area that they would like me to post about.

Live Blogging from My Polling Place
Posted by Chris Nguyen on June 5, 2012
Well, info-junkies, 4600 of you have visited OC Political trying to find info on this election day. Results don’t come in for a little over an hour, so to tide you over, I’m live-blogging from my polling place.
This is my first time ever voting at the polls, as I’ve cast an absentee ballot in every election since I turned 18 years old.
At 6:52, I notice a Deborah Pauly for Supervisor sign at the main road leading to my polling place.
At 6:54, I find a half-full parking lot and get a relatively close parking space.
At 6:55, I enter. There’s some minor confusion as I surrender my absentee ballot. There are only two other voters present.
At 6:59, I begin voting.
For President, hm.
Ron Paul has a lot of online followers. Oh wait, Americans Elect’s online primary failed.
How about Mitt Romney? Polls show 2% of the American people believe his full first name is Mittens.
Sigh…
Republican Central Committee, 68th District
Clearly, the goal is to maximize the temptation for Brown Act violations at Central Committee.
Ah, the majority of the Orange City Council is on the ballot: Mayor Pro Tem Denis Bilodeau and Councilmen Jon Dumitru and Fred Whitaker.
Let’s see: Shawn Nelson will likely win in the 65th, and Janet Nguyen will likely win in the 72nd, so to put the majority of the Board of Supervisors on Central Committee, 68th District voters can vote for both Todd Spitzer and Deborah Pauly for Central Committee.
US Senate
I scroll over Orly Taitz’s name, but am concerned that I haven’t seen her naturalization certificate.
Dan Hughes is the interim Fullerton Police Chief. Oh, it’s not the same one?
Elizabeth Emken is the CRP-endorsed candidate. Wait, wasn’t CRP responsible for Watergate? Oh, different CRP?
US Representative, 39th District
Let’s see: White Republican Ed Royce, Asian Democrat Jay Chen, or white independent D’Marie Mulattieri.
According to conventional wisdom, Asian voters vote for Asian candidates. Conventional wisdom also says Republican voters vote for Republican candidates.
What’s an Asian Republican to do? Vote the color of my skin (though a different ethnicity) or vote my party/beliefs. Hm, skin color or beliefs?
State Senate, 37th District
Mimi Walters vs. Steve Young
So a character from The Drew Carey Show is running against an NFL star?
State Assembly, 68th District
Don Wagner vs. Christina Avalos
Yeah, I’ve got no lame wisecracks for this one. Sorry.
Judge of the Superior Court, Office #1
Deborah Chuang vs. Eugene Jizhak
Man, this is a boring streak on the ballot.
County Board of Education, Trustee Area 3
Hey, isn’t Ken Williams that doctor from the “No on 29” commercial?
County Supervisor, 3rd District
Spitzer vs. Pauly
Wait, didn’t Spitzer resign as Governor of New York in a prostitution scandal? And when did Pauly leave the cast of Jersey Shore? Why are these East Coasters carpetbagging to become Orange County Supervisor.
Oh, they’re different people. Darn.
Ballot Measures
Eh, I’m losing steam.
At 7:02, I finish voting.
Okay, sarcastic live blogging done. Real live blogging kicks in at 8:05 PM when the real results come in.

OC 3rd Supervisorial District Mailbox: Spitzer Sends Piece To Poll Voters
Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on June 3, 2012
Todd Spitzer sent out a piece to poll voters encouraging them to get out and vote on election day. I believe that this piece could have been a bit better and you will see why in a couple of hours when I post the John Campbell mailer that also arrived. Spitzer appears to have this election in the bag, but it never hurts to be sure of yourself through mailing to a broad universe.
Here is the piece:

Special-Interest Spitzer Uses $17,000 in Union Money to Attack Pauly
Posted by The Rock of OC on June 1, 2012
The Chrises told me to back off of the Third Supervisorial District, and they’d get HBK to back off. Since HBK broke that agreement, I’m coming back in.
Before Chuck DeVore left the Supervisor’s race, leaving Deborah Pauly to fill the conservative void, DeVore produced this commercial revealing Todd Spitzer’s $54,000 in union money from the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, and CTA. Special-Interest Spitzer put all that union money in Spitzer for Central Committee.
Spitzer then used the $17,000 from Spitzer for Central Committee to create a hit piece attacking Pauly and her husband. It’s clear Spitzer used union money to attack Pauly.
Here’s the video from DeVore revealing Spitzer’s $54,000 in union money. The “slush fund” DeVore referenced is Spitzer for Central Committee.

Pauly Bashes Carona Supporters Unless They Donate to Her Campaign
Posted by HBK on May 31, 2012
I want you all to know that I tried to stay away from the blog. I really did. Nguyen and Emami begged me to blog about something other than the 3rd District Supervisors race, Deborah Pauly just made me have to jump back on here with some of her latest hypocrisy. I promise to keep it short and not go on some sort of long diatribe.
Deborah Pauly loves to rail on the corruption that was rampant in the Republican Party during the process of the Carona endorsement back in 2004. I actually agree with her on this particular point, however, she then proceeds to link Todd Spitzer to the evil Carona regime.
Pauly failed to mention one of her largest donors is Mike Schroeder the spokesman for Mike Carona. Through the course of the entire election Pauly has raised $23,468 and $1,800 of that amount comes from Mike Schroeder. That means that over 7.5% of her entire campaign funding comes from former Carona spokesperson Mike Schroeder.
Dare I say, hypocrisy?
I promise that this will be my last post on this issue, and I look forward to writing about other issues that are going on throughout the County soon.
