So LaMalfa invested in a headquarters in Lincoln. He also has amassed largely the same endorsement list as Doug Ose before him.
Remember how LaMalfa steadfastly supported Ose, appearing in his ads.
However, the strategy of David Reade – employed so effectively in
the past with Dan Osterander (Former Butte Dem Chairman who
re-registered to run for assembly), Richard Dickerson (One of the original
budget sell-outs) and Sue Horne – is going back to the well again.
The David Reade formula: Go get 2/3 or more of the local electeds to
endorse your candidate and hope that substitutes for grassroots
activity.
Funny how the candidates that work end up winning – endorsement lists do not a candidate make.
Meantime – it looks like Doug LaMalfa is unraveling himself. Is
David Reade going to dip in to LaMalfa’s checkbook – or is Reade going
to cut bait for his gig with Whitman?
