John Moorlach for Congress

John Moorlach is ahead in name ID and in raw results in his campaign for the 45th Congressional District, according to a poll that was referenced by Scott Carpenter, over at the OC Political blog.

But Walters is far ahead when it comes to raking in the cash. She has raised $623,756 according to our friends at Around the Capitol. Moorlach has only raised $46,313 and the third candidate, Greg Raths, who is also a Republican, has raised $42,729. Continue reading→

Moveon.org, a liberal grassroots organization, is responding to the shutdown of the Federal Government by targeting U.S. Representative John Campbell (R-Irvine).

This seems rather clueless as Campbell has already announced his retirement in 2014!

Here is an excerpt of Moveon.org’s announcement, sent via email today: Continue reading→

The survey was conducted June 28-30. With a 300 sample of likely voters for the June 2014 election, the survey yields a margin of error of +/- 4.75%. Continue reading→
