Jude Barry likes to attack developers
All developers???
No, just ones that he wants to slime
Meet Phil Angelides
The best State Democratic Chair in California History
A great officer for the state
Not according to Jude!!!
Prepare yourself for upcoming gubernatorial hardball
If anyone had doubts about how serious Steve Westly is in his effort to become California's next governor, they ended the midsummer day he hired Garry South as his senior adviser, the same title South held as campaign boss and political guru for Gray Davis - who didn't always listen.
No one is paying much attention now, with all eyes on the November special election called by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. But Westly's choice of South to run his campaign means California is in for a year of attack politics, with very few punches pulled.
Yes, South has a sense of humor. Yes, he has lost a few, most notably the Davis recall and when he was communications director for failed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mike Woo in 1993.
But South prides himself on having helped make California a basically Democratic state, noting that he's the only campaign manager in his party in more than 40 years to have steered two winning campaigns for governor.
Two things about South: He never forgets, and his campaigns don't show much mercy. Ask Richard Riordan, the former Los Angeles mayor who beat Woo in a campaign South considered dirty. When Riordan ran for governor in 2002, South took the unprecedented step of unleashing a relentless stream of ads blasting him during the other party's primary.
He painted Riordan as a waffling doofus, making the previously unknown Bill Simon the GOP nominee and easy pickings for the already unpopular Davis.
Now South has revenge on his mind again. He wants first to eliminate state Treasurer Phil Angelides in next June's primary, clearing the way for Westly to face off against Schwarzenegger.
The first thing he'll do is make sure voters know Angelides has entertained the idea of raising taxes to solve state budget problems. Then he'll attack Angelides' business background as a longtime Sacramento-area developer.

So was this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Westly Camp Calls Angelides 'Slimy Developer'
A campaign aide to the controller says use of the term was a mistake. The spat delights the GOP.
SACRAMENTO — Whoops: Call it an oversight. The campaign manager for state Controller Steve Westly said Friday the controller didn't mean to imply that his chief rival in the race to become the Democratic nominee for governor in 2006 is a "slimy developer."
Never mind that the Westly camp e-mailed to Democrats across the state an anonymous quote in a newspaper saying as much about state Treasurer Phil Angelides.
The e-mail has angered Angelides, who himself has been criticized for bare-knuckles campaign tactics in the past, prompting him to demand an apology. And Republicans are delighted to watch the Democrats beat up on each other instead of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The note at issue was distributed late Thursday and encourages Westly supporters to get the word out about a poll of "30 California political experts" published in the Capitol Weekly, a Sacramento publication for state workers and political insiders. The poll concludes that the controller is the toughest potential Democratic opponent for Schwarzenegger.

The e-mail goes further than just spreading that news. It also urges Westly supporters to be sure to tell fellow Democrats about "some of the candid things" the anonymous "experts" had to say about the race in the news article. Among them: Westly "can say that he at first tried to work cooperatively with the governor. Angelides is a slimy developer."\
Chalk it up to a bad editing judgment, Westly campaign manager Jude Barry now says. He said he was merely trying to let the world know about all the positive things these experts had to say about Westly.
So why include the "slimy developer" swipe at the treasurer? A mere oversight, says Barry.
"It is a fairly harsh characterization," Barry said in an interview Friday. "In retrospect, I probably should have edited or excised it out."
