California Attorney General candidates Former Governor and current Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown<\/strong> and Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo<\/strong> duke it out over a non-issue like Wal-Mart<\/strong> (who incidentally is willing to bring business to California in spite of Democrats driving business away<\/a><\/em>), while Pierre-Richard Prosper<\/a> is hands-down the best candidate for California Attorney General.<\/p>\n

Wal-Mart a campaign issue<\/a><\/p>\n

A week ago, Delgadillo called Wal-Mart a “predator” on the middle class. His campaign also chastised Brown for bringing a Wal-Mart store to Oakland and accepting $10,600 in campaign contributions from Wal-Mart heir John Walton and his wife, Christy.<\/p>\n

Brown, in response, resurrected a speech in which Delgadillo’s former boss praised him for helping recruit Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n

Delgadillo said Thursday that he was carrying out the wishes of his boss at the time, former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan.<\/p>\n

“What’s changed is the name on the door is different,” Delgadillo said. “I was working for Mayor Riordan, and now I am working for me.”<\/p>\n

So am I to assume that Mr. Delgadillo’s allegiances are for sale?<\/p>\n

And, we already know that Brown is a far-left political figure and has little to offer California as the state’s top law and order officer.<\/p>\n

Our choice for Attorney General is Republican Pierre-Richard Prosper<\/a>. Prosper has held many positions in government at local and national levels. He is far and away the best choice for the job of California Attorney General. <\/p>\n

From Prosper’s Web Site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nJustice Begins At Home…<\/em> The California Attorney General is on the frontlines of Justice. Justice on the streets from Los Angeles to Oakland. Justice for families broken by lost opportunities and gang warfare. Justice for child victims of sexual predators. Justice for victims of violence. Justice for legal immigrants seeking a better life. Justice for the institution of marriage. Justice for all Californians.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: Unfortunately, Pierre Prosper has withdrawn from the campaign. His website<\/a> has a statement explaining his reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
