This is the one where TheLiberalOC turns two.
The political blog that I created and completely abandoned when I moved to AZ turned two today.
I penned an anniversary post here.
The blogroll there is still muckraking and stirring things up in OC. They were recently mentioned in the Orange County Register [link] for posting the Lucas letter. From the Register:
Garden Grove Democrat Paul Lucas lent a hand to GOP fixer Mike Schroeder’s effort to defeat Supervisor Janet Nguyen’s reelection effort — but only after Lucas had his own figurative back-alley meeting Nguyen, according to this fascinating post at TheLiberalOC.com. As you may know, Schroeder and Assemblyman Van Tran are political enemies of Nguyen, and are backing Dina Nguyen’s effort to unseat her.
In 2006, when Lucas unsuccessfully challenged Republican Tran for Assembly, Janet Nguyen gave Lucas opposition reasearch on Tran, according to the item. TheLiberalOC backs this up with a letter of admission from Lucas, which was produced at the Monday’s GOP Central Committee meeting in an effort to block the party’s endorsement of Janet Nguyen for reelection. The effort failed and Janet carried the day.
This supervisor’s race just keeps getting better and better.
The supervisor’s race really is interesting, and I’m slightly disappointed that I am not close enough to hear the day-to-day gossip.
