Yanking the rug...


Auday Arabo has apparently scored one early advantage in the race for the Democratic Nomination in AD 78. As seen in a prior posting, one of the speakers at his recent fundraiser was Assemblymember Alberto Torrico, the Chair of the Asian Pacific-Islander Caucus.

While this is an important endorsement for Arabo, it is a more important factor for Arlie Ricasa, who had the endorsement of the Asian Pacific-Islander Caucus when she ran in 2004.

With money and institutional Sacramento support, Auday has to be considered the leading contender among the existing candidates in the field. He is also the only candidate who would presumably have the financial support necessary to defeat Steve Peace if he were to get into the race.
