    Updates from the blogosphere

    Today has brought about a few interesting posts in the blogs-o-California-politics.

    First up, is this from Calitics, where an activist plots to take over the California Democratic Party--from the inside.

    Then, the FlashReport's Mike Der Manouel says the stories about new GOP leader Mike Villines are a joke and that Villines is no partisan warrior. "Call it partisan if you will - but in reality, Mike Villines is simply doing what is right and necessary for these troubling times," he writes.

    Then incoming Senator Mark Wyland tells the U-T that Gov. Schwarzenegger doesn't do policy.

    "He does not really have an in-depth interest in policy. ... He loves marketing," said Wyland

    I think Der Manouel is moving back towards his hard right roots. He recently called Alan Autry a RINO for supporting Sheriff elect Margaret Mimms. What do you think?

    Maybe when Trump comes to Fresno he can do to Der Manouel what he did to Rosie. Bullies should be put in their place.

    Michael Der Manouel has been marginalized by his former endorsements of Mike Briggs and Steve Samuelian. His current endorsement of Rudy offers no hope of improvement. Very sad for the central committee or the lincoln club of fresno county!!!
