1. Also, Torlakson or Aceves for school superintendent
NOT Romero who is funded by Eli Broad (rhymes with "toad") and the charters-uber-alles "reform" movement.

6. I went for Aceves for school supt., and Newsome for Lt. Gov, Harris for AG.
Not that I'd done tons of research, but liked that Aceves is a retired supt., and I've met Newsome and I like Harris.

13. I saw the Ed. Supt. debate and both Aceves and...
...Torlakson (sp?) were excellent. I know Romero is pushing the reform agenda, but I oppose the policy(teachers evaluated by student test scors) as well as her militaristic stance on parents' rights.And I DO support parents' rights. Both Aceves and Torlakson have experience, know education, and respect teachers. I think the CTA supports Torlakson...but I could be wrong.

5. In the past 18 hours
I have received 2 robo calls from Meg Whitman, reminding me that she founded Ebay and will lower my taxes. And that she is a true conservative. :puke:

I really hope she loses.

7. What, nothing about how she'll removed undocumented workers from every nook and cranny?
I worry about the money she's going to spend on this, I hope one of the wackier Reps win their primary.
