I doubt there is any real danger that a Fox News item would convince most San Diegans that former Councilmember Carl DeMaio is our dream congressional candidate.

Like many San Diegans, I found out Monday morning that Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio would be organizing events for the effort to recall Mayor Bob Filner. This is my shocked font! Of course, the man who lost the mayoral race to Filner is joining the recall. It allows him to settle an old score and…
Recently at a GLBT event, one of the producers actually went out of his way to hide the American flag because of personal views!
