Chronicle Ignores Theme of Angelides EventAssemblymember Mark Lenobyline‚ Oct. 23‚ 2006(Ed note: While activists often complain about the Chronicle getting their message wrong, Leno shows that even state legislators suffer from such treatment) Having read yet another story last Saturday in our local press about how Democrats are fleeing the Angelides campaign, my blood began to boil. This latest telling featured a lifelong Democratic woman from Berkeley who was quoted as saying that she had no reason to vote for Phil Angelides and was likely to vote for the incumbent Governor. I called information, found her number and placed the call. The Berkeley Democrat, named Mary, was very gracious and afforded me a few minutes to share with her 10 critical reasons why every Democrat must vote for Treasurer Angelides. She said she was unaware of much of what I had told her, at which point she spent the next days reading about and researching the race. Needless to say, she is now voting for Phil. |
