Long Pham: a modern-day Mr. Smith- June 17, 2008 The final results for the June 3rd Primary have finally been posted. Long Pham, candidate for the Orange County Board of Education District 1 was elected to replace 4 term incumbent Felix Rocha Jr. Pham beat him by less than 900 votes, 19,936 to 19,057.

This has been a topic of much speculation. I hope this information clears up the misunderstandings that Supervisor Nguyen's detractors have been broadcasting throughout the blogosphere. Here are Supervisor Nguyen's thoughts: This was one of the most difficult decisions that I&146;'ve made since being in office.

OC GOP machine gets punked as Sandra Hutchens becomes the new Sheriff- June 11, 2008 I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life! I thought the OC GOP machine had victory in the bag and that their boy Paul Walters would succeed Mike Carona.

Do Phu strikes back at former Hoa Van Tran staffers- June 3, 2008 The race for the First Supervisorial District has become a complete nightmare for the Democratic Party of Orange County. They endorsed the sole Democrat in the race, Hoa Van Tran, only to blanch when his campaign manager, Edgardo Reynoso, brought in a bunch of cholos to work for the campaign. Two of those cholos then were arrested for attempted murder. And then things got worse. Two of Van Tran's staffers quit the campaign. They both alleged harassment and one even got a temporary restraining...http://www.topix.net/city/garden-grove-ca/2008/06/do-phu-strikes-back-at-former-hoa-van-tr... |
