Calif. attorney general race goes negative
By John Wildermuth, San Francisco Chronicle
The race for attorney general is getting nastier, with Democrat Dave Jones going on the attack against retired El Dorado Superior Court Judge Steven Bailey , who with Los Angeles attorney Eric Early is one of the two Republican candidates in the contest.
On Monday, Jones sent out a news release calling Bailey the leading GOP candidate in the race and none-too-subtly pointing out that “this candidate is under investigation for 11 counts of judicial misconduct.”
Jones, the state insurance commissioner, also made sure to point out that Bailey is supported by “numerous conservative organizations,” including the Pro-Life Council and Gun Owners of California.
