Four years ago San Bernardino County was a red county. Today, registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by almost 31,000 voters. It is that statistic that has even the most ardent ultra-conservative grassroots San Bernardino County Central Committee members ready to vote for a . . . omg . . . sitting politician as the new chairman over the current “we the people” incumbent. Unless one first flinches, a showdown could take place this month between sitting chairman, Robert Rego, and Assemblyman Curt Hagman. Hagman, one of California’s more successful Republican legislators, is challenging Rego for the top county spot. To read the rest of the story, click here.
by AdministratorI am frequently asked about Examiner. Many people have not heard of it. Here are the stats from last year: Hi Sharon, Thank you for contributing to Examiner.com in December! We hope that 2013 brings you great success. This past year was historic in many ways for Examiner.com. We received more than 187 million web and mobile page views to our site in December. To put that growth in perspective, the site experienced just around 60 million web and mobile page views in December 2011. That’s over a 300% increase in just one year! Active subscriber numbers continued to grow as well. By the end of the year almost 600,000 readers were subscribed to various Examiner.com assignments. Those readers were also consuming more articles each time they came to the site. Quantcast.com currently ranks Examiner.com as the 38th most visited US website and the 7th most visited mobile site. Our successes are your successes and we wouldn’t be where we are without your contributions. We’re confident that 2013 will be an even better year and we look forward to sharing continued good fortune. Thanks again for your contributions. Sincerely, Examiner.com This is why I prefer to put information out thru Examiner than straight to the blog. It is also why I get so frustrated with you guys when you won’t give me what I need so I can do so or when you don’t support the Examiner stories. Think about how many SBSD scandals would have made great Examiner reading. [...]
by AdministratorMore changes are coming and some of you are not going to be happy about it. I know your favorite stories are those about county corruption. Unfortunately, those stories don’t get me paid. I know some of you don’t understand, and I am not writing what I am about to write for sympathy, but to help you understand the changes.
by AdministratorMost of the press releases I receive are from seasoned campaign consultants and I would never suggest I know more than they do. That being said, hey guys, new media works differently than the Daily Press, The Sun, and Press Enterprise. First off, most of us have a staff of three–me, myself, and I. And our blogs are something we do in our spare time for pleasure, not frustration What that means is that if you want it published, don’t make it so much work for us.
