This horrible op-ed in the OC Register is full of it. Hunt a unionist? Hunt supporters are a very diverse and patriotic bunch, not union thugs. The union members among them are the right kind of duty-minded public employees, performing the services government is supposed to perform. Calle writes Hunt "portrays himself as a Sheriff Joe Arpaio type", neglecting to add that Arpaio himself portrays Hunt as an Arpaio-type. Hunt aggressive? Well, of course! Hunt is the people's choice because he represents the people and we are pissed, pissed at incumbent pols and incumbent media. Hutchens "soft on Second Amendment"? She has declared war on the Second Amendment! More like Calle is soft on Hutchens.

Star treatment – Opinion – The Orange County Register.

Orange County's hottest race in the June 8 primary election quite possibly is the competition for Sheriff-Coroner. Given the previous elected sheriff was the disgraced Mike Carona, emotions are high as voters consider which candidate will do the most to restore integrity to the county's top law enforcement post.
