The Oddest Political Holiday Card I Got This Year

Years ago I was proud to have contributed to an upstart young Latina Democrat in one of the most conservative corners of the nation, Orange County California, defeating an incumbent right wing nut case Republican named Bob "B-2" Dornan. I donated to Loretta Sanchez's original campaign where she defeated Dornan, and I contributed to her first re-election which finally convinced Dornan that a hispanic woman Democrat really did defeat him. Now Loretta is solidly established in Congress and I never regretted supporting her. I even supported her sister, Linda Sanchez, when she successfully ran for Congress in another district in California.

This past year may be my most political year yet. I have thus wound up, due to various donations, connections, blogging, etc., wound up receiving dozens of holiday cards from politicians all around the nation. I think Loretta Sanchez's card was my favorite and one of the funniest. Gotta love someone who can break the stuffy mold of Congress:

Loved the picture! Words
weren't clear to me so I
copied the image to my hard
drive, & left for 2nd
shopping trip. Now I still
can't read the words well,
but want to thank you for
helping to give Dornan his
comeuppance.

It says:

"The act of surfing down the line of a breaking wave while dragging one's hand across the face of the wave."

Surfing lingo in a holiday card from a Congressional Rep. Very California, of course.

Words to live by

The most significant element of the coverage that has so rankled the Clinton campaign may be one that cannot responsibly be omitted: her recent win-loss record in nominating contests.

“My role model and mentor at The A.P. was Walter Mears, who recently retired, and he used to say that who wins is part of the story,” said Mike Glover, an Associated Press reporter, as he flew on Mrs. Clinton’s plane on Thursday from Hanging Rock, Ohio, to Houston. “We’re covering a candidate who’s lost 11 straight primaries. They’re covering a candidate who has won 11 straight primaries.”
