PrintSummer is just about over--kids are back in school, and Labor Day is approaching, the unofficial start of fall. That also means that it's campaign season, with the November general election only two months away.
Tonight, much of the local politicos will be glued to their TV's watching Carly Fiorina debate Barbara Boxer in the campaign for the U.S. Senate as the incumbent struggles for her political life against her toughest challenger yet.
In Alaska, a sitting senator was just defeated by a no-name Tea Party candidate.
Closer to home, the Ventura County GOP made endorsements in the treasurer-tax collector and Simi Valley mayoral races, choosing Steven Hintz and Bob Huber, respectively.
In the 37th Assembly District, where Republican Jeff Gorell is running against Democrat Ferial Masry, a new poll shows that Gorell's opened up a 13-point lead over his opponent, including leaners. More bad news for Masry: Democrats don't seem to be all that energized by their nominee; the poll indicates that Republicans are about 25 percent more likely to support Gorell than Democrats are willing to support Masry.
The poll was commissioned by the Gorell campaign and conducted August 23-25.
One thought about the poll: 80 percent of likely voters said California is moving in the wrong direction. Why isn't that number closer to 99.999 percent? Who in their right mind doesn't think California is headed in the wrong direction?
Gorell sweeps Kern County

Jeff Gorell won a whopping 100 percent of Kern County Tuesday night, thanks to a single voter.
That's a phone call that paid off for some phone bank volunteer.
The Gorell campaign released a YouTube spot Sunday
entitled "Tested", meant to tout the "tough-as-nails" side of the 37th
Assembly candidate.
Gorell's been a legislative aide, prosecutor, war veteran, and university professor in his career. The 60-second ad focuses on his prosecutorial experience and his stint in Afghanistan, and pronounces him "tested" to take on Sacramento.
Gorell's mentioned in the past that when he used to go along on drug busts as a prosecutor, for some reason the drug dealers would inevitably have a Scarface poster on the wall and copious amounts of pornography strewn about. [continue reading]
We've been hearing a lot more from John Ratzenberger since the days when he played Cliff Claven from Cheers. The veteran actor's lent his voice to several blockbuster Pixar animated features, and if you add up the box office receipts for all the movies he's been in, he's the sixth most successful actor of all time. More recently, he's lent his voice to political causes, speaking out against Obamacare, supporting Scott Brown in Massachusetts and, now, supporting Jeff Gorell for Assembly with a fundraising appearance in Camarillo on April 30th.
"Through his foundation, Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs, and his work on the show Made in America, John has dedicated much time to inspiring young people to work with their hands and to celebrate everyday heroes who design, manufacture and fix the things that afford us the quality of life we enjoy in America," said Gorell in a statement. "My efforts in California education policy will, in part, be to similarly inspire middle and high school students to learn the art and benefit of vocational work by reincorporating career technical education courses in public schools. It's an honor to have John's support!"
Ratzenberger may harbor political aspirations of his own; he's rumored to be interested in running for Senate in Connecticut in 2012.
