DIST. 3 RACE GETS UGLY

Hillcrest -- Responding to the Voter Recommendations posted here yesterday by San Diego News Service, "Anonymous" suggested that we look at a new website set up for the Nov. 4th election.

The website: http://www.whoisstephenwhitburn.blogspot.com/

Naturally, we thought it referred to the race for the Third-District city council seat between Todd Gloria (whom we did not endorse), and Stephen Whitburn - who is very similar in temperament to Sen. Obama.

But, when we opened the website, we found it was from the alledgedly racist Minutemen of San Diego.

But, the computer-required signature reveals something else.

Understand, both candidates for the council's Third district are liberal democrats - though Gloria is more part of the establishment (which is republican).

The computer signature of the Minutemen site is: www.redcountry.com/sandiego/2008/04/republican-party-announces-key/

So, apparently the republicans are pushing hard with a dirty, on-line promotion for Gloria.
