Fleischman still going

FlashReport author Jon Fleischman continues his anti-Susan Kennedy writings this week: Anyways, I really didn't intend on rehashing the whole "Why did the Governor hire a liberal Democrat to run his office" shtick -- I've done that plenty on these pages. But, since I have brought it up, for the record, I will ask that she get the boot, and that we get a Chief of Staff in there that actually looks to Ronald Reagan as a hero, instead of Jane Fonda. After getting that off his chest, he suggests Kennedy go campaign for Angelides: My idea was that Kennedy should take some time off this Friday and over the weekend, and "work" the Democratic Convention for her old boss, Angelides. Besides being theraputic (if she feels remorse for 'selling out her people' to work for the GOP Governor) -- Kennedy must have hundreds of relationships with the many delegates who will be at that convention. Perhaps we could even orchestrate some sort of 'faux-resignation' where she fakes a principled resignation from the Governor's office ("I am sick and tired of working for a Governor that won't raise taxes!") and actually go into the convention as kind of a hero/lost sheep returning to the fold. She can give a keynote address, where she talks about how California needs a Governor like Angelides who will raise taxes and bring more socialized spending programs to the state. She can vouch for the fact that while she had been in the Governor office, she had to battle with Republicans every day, and deal with a boss who actually had a natural dislike for big-government solutions to solving the problems of California. Her speech, along with personal attacks that she can coordinate with her old flack, Bob Mulholland, should propel her old boss Angelides into an endorsement, giving him some much needed momentum.
