Is this the “dark horse” in CA-10 who will challenge Tauscher-clone State Senator Mark DeSaulnier? Fog City Journal thinks so. DeSaulnier is one if the names mentioned to replace Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher who has been nominated for a State Department position. Here is his official biography. DeSaulnier just got elected to the California State Senate in November, 2008, and has already voted in favor of the Louisiana-style “blackmail primary” which would allow candidates for office to conceal their party affiliation and turn California into the land of a thousand Liebermans. He also has a blog.
