• Who Is Mimi Walters and How Did We Get Stuck With Her?

  —Orange Juice

  Mimi is the senator representing most of Fullerton in the 33rd State Senate District – so bequeathed by Dick Ackerman who made sure that some (but not all) of Fullerton was kept in his 33rd when redistricting occurred in 2001. Walters lives somewhere down near the beach but is our [...]

  —Orange Juice

  Number of comments: 1
  “I wonder if anyone wants Linda Ackerman’s autograph?” Chris Norby’s victory party was so chock-full of politicians and wannabes that we could not fit all our pictures into our last post.  So here are a few more: One of Norby’s consultants, Matt Holder, who really needs to eat more! Blogger Allan Bartlett thinks [...]

• OC Holds Special Election to Fill Duvall's Assembly Seat

  —CaliforniaCityNews.org

  Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby, despite being badly outspent in the "nasty, brutish and short" special election to replaced resigned Assemblyman Mike Duvall, has advanced to a runoff against Democrat John MacMurray. 

  In an expectantly low turnout election Tuesday, Norby beat out the wife of former legislator (and Republican leader) Dick Ackerman.  Linda Ackerman, listed [...]

• 72nd Election Recap: Validation & Valediction

  —Orange Juice

  Number of comments: 3
  Over at the otherwise dreadfully tedious Red County blog, our Friend Allan Bartlett opines on last night’s impressive Norby victory over Ackerwoman in the 72nd Special Election Primary. He almost gets it completely right. He correctly points out that Norby’s 17% margin of victory over the Ackerman, Inc slime-peddlers is a [...]

  The Face of defeat: Jon Fleischman realizes Ackerman is done As you might imagine, all the Republican bottom-feeders who backed carpetbagger Linda Ackerman showed up at Supervisor Chris Norby’s victory party tonight, in Fullerton.  Jon Fleischman and Matt “Jerbal” Cunningham both shilled for Ackerman, but sure enough, there they were at Norby’s [...]

  So who is going to prevail today in the Special Election in the 72nd Assembly District?  This is the race to replace pervy Assemblyman Mike Duvall.  The candidates include Libertarian-leaning Supervisor Chris Norby; OC GOP machine candidate Linda Ackerman (who is running as a carpetbagger from Irvine); Democratic candidate John [...]

  After Linda Ackerman loses on Tuesday, will she endorse the Democrat in a run-off?

  We have thoroughly and comprehensively debunked the campaign blather about Linda Ackerman being some sort of businesswoman. She’s not, of course. That’s just a lie, and almost as bad as her claim to be living in Fullerton. The sum and substance of her business experience seems to be calling up [...]
