Summer in California is usually quiet with no real interest in politics. This year is different - and it's not just the summer heat that's making people delirious. They want change - and it's not in the form of Barak Obama.
I was part of an incredible team that helped Sam Blakeslee prevail in not just one election, but two in two months. When I started, few were aware of the Special Primary Election on June 22nd where Blakeslee nearly won the race outright in an 8 point Democrat district. Sam had help from Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, and Governor Schwarzenegger.
In fact, nearly every notable Republican offered some form of assistance. They backed him wholeheartedly not just because he's a Republican. Sam represents a new California - he's an innovator and researcher with a deep understanding of budgets and how to rally people towards a common cause. His impressive record of bi-partisan legislative accomplishments gave voters confidence.
