Angelides campaign being written off by political blogs
Many of the major California political blogs seem to have already written Phil Angelides’ political obituary.
Some are still writing about his flubs in campaign appearances, or are observing that Arnold Schwarzenegger is making fewer and fewer campaign appearances these days, the governor’s campaign apparently believing that he’s been all but re-elected.
Just a few of the recent blog observations out there about Angelides: Karen Hanretty writes on her blog that Angelides is at serious risk of losing as badly to Schwarzenegger as Dan Lungren lost to Gray Davis in 1998 (Lungren lost by a 19-point margin) … Bill Bradley links to an article from the Hayward Daily Review that paints a portrait of Democratic Party activists having a hard time finding volunteers in Alameda County to work for Democratic candidates. Bradley also notes that the massive infusion of public employee union cash that was supposed to arrive to revitalize Angelides’ campaign in the final weeks has not materialized … The San José Mercury News politics blog observes that Angelides has picked up the endorsements of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, La Opinión, the state’s leading Spanish-language newspaper, and — that’s all.
