Republican gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman this afternoon announced grassroots steering committees for Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
Whitman says the committees will help recruit volunteers and get voters to the polls in the June primary where the former eBay CEO faces state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner for the GOP nomination.
Here are the committee members from the two-county area, according to Whitman's campaign.
Riverside County: Ann Botts, Robby Hightower, Darcy Kuenzi, Gina Nestande, John Petty, Albert Sanchez, Jonathan Sheehan, and Marc Troast.
San Bernardino County: Steve Berry, Tom Brickley, Erin Brinker, Tobin Brinker, Steve Copeland, Christine Millan, and Anne Viricel.
What a group of losers. I was ready to support Whitman until I saw this. Anyone who would put Steve Berry on a stearing committee after the unsavory stuff he has done for the last 20 years clearly has not made any real effort to assess the political tone of the Inland Empire. with the exception of John Petty and Darcy Kuenzi, these are all tiny tiny Republicans connected to the worst elements in this area. These choices speak very poorly for this candidate.

Last we knew Steve Berry lived in Riverside not in San Bernardino. Of course it is rumored that he "has friends" in San Bernardino Politics that are afraid he'll be spilling the beans if he is not kept busy. Sorry Meg. I can't support anyone who will hire or let Steve Berry be an associate.
