Cabaldon is rolling > Rexroad.com

Davis City Councilman Don Saylor, Supervisor Mike McGowan, and Supervisor Helen Thomson endorsing Cabaldon.
Steve Hardy gets his appointment. This clears the way in Solano County for Cabaldon. Cabaldon has wasted zero time racking up endorsement after endorsement. He landed former Assemblyman Tom Hannigan early this week. He added the Mayor of Fairfield the next day. Now he adds Fairfield City Councilmembers Marilyn Farley and John Mraz, Suisun City Councilmember Mike Segala and former Solano County Supervisor Duane Kromm. Things are getting a little one-sided.
The big day that is really coming will be the finincial reporting in June. If Cabaldon doubles the money raised by Yamada people are really going to start piling on.

In a legislative primary like this the odd numbered year (2007) is all about endorsements and fundraising. From what I can tell Cabaldon is going to be way out front.

The far-left in Davis strongly prefers Yamada over Cabaldon. To read the comments of David Greenwald (aka Doug Paul Davis) and his comrades, Cabaldon is five notches to the right of Dick Cheney. I'm not entirely clear as to why they so love Mariko. But it has been Cabaldon's efforts to bring big box retail business to West Sac that has drawn the ire of the Citizens Against Virturally Everything (CAVE).

My guess is that, because Davis has so many more Democrats than other Yolo County cities, and Mariko is far better-known than Cabaldon is in Davis, Yamada will win a majority in Yolo County, despite Cabaldon's edge in endorsements.

But that lead will not be enough if Cabaldon trounces her -- as I suspect he will -- in Solano County. That is why the exit of Hardy so greatly improves Cabaldon's chances of winning AD8. Had Hardy run, Mariko might have won a plurality of votes in the district, largely on the strength of a big Davis turnout. But that result appears unlikley, now.
