So far this primary cycle Curtis "I git dem commies" Bowers has raised only $12,760 to Takasugi’s $20,720. Takasugi has raised more than $7960 over Gov. Otter appointee Bowers. What makes this even more interesting, as Alan noted yesterday, is that of Bowers’ $12,760 in donations, $7,000 of that came from one family in Colorado; the McAlvanys. So, take away one family of out-of-state supporters and Takasugi has out-raised Bowers by $14,960 — a pretty damn impressive show of support for Takasugi. I’ll also note that Bowers and Takasugi have both loaned their campaigns $5,000.
So, needless to say, that begs the question — who are the McAlvanys, more importantly; who is Don McAlvany?
I’ll also say that while Bowers was "playing" as an undercover pinko in Berkeley, his opponent Pat Takasugi was serving his country as a Green Beret in the US Army. So tell me then; who did more to "really" fight the communists?
