The Race for a Seat in 40th Congress District
Re “It’s Official: Baker Has Bergeson’s Backing” (April 9):
Sen. Marian Bergeson states that C. Dave Baker has “clearly engendered the confidence of Irvine voters . . . and that’s important.” I’d like to inform Bergeson that what is important to some is not important to all.
Baker has never engendered the confidence of this Irvine voter. Contrary to popular but misguided public opinion, the great conservative Orange Curtain has a great many liberal thinkers lurking behind its folds. I for one am sick and tired of hearing about the “good ol’ boy network” of Republican candidates. This self-righteous virus of party politics is damaging to everyone.
Beware, Mr. Baker. Remember Bergeson’s other favorite son, Ken Carpenter. History may just repeat itself.
