Caballero Booed; Castillo Cheered at COPS Event
By now, Theresa Caballero is changing her strategy on who to focus on during this campaign. She has been pretty quiet, which is very uncharacteristic for the outspoken attorney. I think she figured she was going to sail right in to office on name recognition alone.
She recently posted on her blog a piece that all but accuses one of her opponents, Diana Navarrete of being a thief. Caballero has threatened to sue others for saying for less. She cleverly phrases things as a question so that she avoids slander/libel issues.
But after Saturday's Democratic Party convention, it is clear to Caballero by now that she will have to actually work for it. Jose Castillo, another candidate for the position, came out with guns blazing, showing no fear of taking on Caballero who has a reputation of being a campaign buzz saw.
At last night's meeting of the union membership of several of the law enforcement agencies that make up COPS, Castillo drew a hard contrast between he and Caballero. Every time her name was mention, Caballero was booed.
And Castillo is not shy about stacking his qualifications against hers and taking her on about campaign issues.
By now, Caballero is retooling things to go after Castillo. God only know what she will accuse him of considering some of the stuff she's said about her other opponents in the past. Maybe she'll allege he's secretly an alien from outer space or has a third nipple.
Who knows?
But Caballero is now up against a pretty strong candidate who's not shy about taking her on.
For the most part, judicial candidates are notoriously horrible campaign speakers. In general they bore the crap out of people. Until Caballero decided to throw her hat in the ring to run for judge there really weren't any dynamic and engaging public speakers with a message that ran for the bench in recent memory (sorry Judges and candidates, just keeping it real.)
Caballero stood out from the crowd because she was a judicial candidate that got people's attention. Either because people like her, or because they dislike her.
Until now. Castillo is a candidate that is passionate and engaging. He makes you pay attention to what he has to say and why he's running. Great messaging and superlative delivery.
The Force is strong with him. Watch the speech, and I have more footage to show you all later, and you'll see why, as a chess fan myself, I think - the Castle takes the Knight.

In the words of CLEAT...BOOOOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's not the most qualified candidate. She doesn't have judicial temperament in my opinion.
