Allen Wilson Loves Bob Huff (And That’s Totally Cool With Me)

By Centinel | May 9, 2008

Bob Huff!I’m curious: does Allen Wilson really dig Assemblyman Bob Huff (who is running for Margett’s State Senate seat) or what? We’ve already seen that he’s a fan:

Assemblyman Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar), candidate for State Senate, held a Grand Opening of a new campaign headquarters in the heart of beautiful downtown San Dimas on Bonita Avenue.

In previous campaigns, Bob Huff’s campaign office for City Council and Assembly has always been in his hometown of Diamond Bar.  However, the headquarters in San Dimas is just perfect (not too far from Diamond Bar), because it makes feel like you are at home with family and friends.

Then, Wilson praised Huff’s mailers.

Two mailers from the Bob Huff for State Senate Campaign hit the mailboxes today, including my mailbox here in Diamond Bar.

One mailer illustrates Huff being “A Conservative you can count on to fight:  Illegal Immigration, Higher Taxes and Government Waste.”

Another mailer points out strong endorsements from broad Los Angeles County leaders such as Supervisors Mike Antonovich and Don Knabe, Senator Bob Margett and Assemblyman Anthony Adams.

Both are very well laid out and classy mailers.

And then I saw this letter in the SGVT:

The 29th State Senate District GOP contest pits Assemblyman Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, and former Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy to succeed term-limited Sen. Bob Margett, R-Glendora.

I just received an e-mail communication from Ben Lopez, campaign manager for Dennis Mountjoy for state Senate:

“Did you know that the Mountjoy name has represented the 29th district region for 30 years? In those 30 years district boundaries have changed on them yet the voters have repeatedly voted for Mountjoy as their representative in Sacramento. Support a name and the values it brings that can’t be beat!!”

It is very troubling that Lopez would attempt to convince individuals through an e-mail communication that the voters in the 29th Senate District should elect someone based on the name of Mountjoy.

Furthermore, Lopez needs to understand that the 29th Senate District has changed dramatically since 2000, which now covers portions of Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Therefore, 50 percent of the new voters since 2000 are outside of Los Angeles County, where Bob Huff remains strong and respected.

It is obvious that we deserve and want a senator, a real representative, not just “a name.”

We need a real leader with dignity and one who has engaged in the issues, not just howling at the moon.

Hmmmm. Of course, right about now is when someone should send me an “email communication” informing me that Allen Wilson works for the Huff campaign and I’m just retarded. Or, surprise, he’s a fan of Huff’s campaign and is expressing that. But hey, what are blogs for if not pretending to be a digital detective?

P.S. Please don’t tell me that Dennis Mountjoy howls at the moon.

    It’s surprising Margett isn’t endorsing Mountjoy - he must really be doing badly.
