Candidates for the 71st AD, already lining up!

I came across this today on the OC Blog, one of my favorite blogs to read each and every day...It has some interesting thoughts posted by an Adam Probolsky, not sure how he knows the orange scene, but whatever..I guess anybody can take a shot at guessing what will happen in life.

Move over Todd

Assemblyman Spitzer hasn't even won his final 2 years in Sacramento (he could get 90% of the vote in November is he really wanted to) and the candidates for his 71st Assembly DIstricts are already lining up.

Today your own Orange County Public Administrator - Public Guardian, South Orange County Community College District Trusteee and Republican Central Committee Member John WIlliam filed to open a committee and to start raising money for a 2008 run for the 71st Assembly District.

Williams is a likable guy and has lots of credibiltiy having run a tight ship both at the college district and for the last four years at the county.

But there are several other possible candidates for the post including Orange Mayor Mark Murphy, Councilman Jon Dumitru, and Councilwoman Carolyn Cavecche. OC Water District Board Member and Orange Councilman to be Denis Bilodeau is also a prospect. (I don't think he will win his council race, he has lost 2x prior and honestly does he have the gas to go all the way)

Both DA Rackauckas and Sheriff Carona would have very good chances if they decided to run, both of them, like Williams would be running from safe seats since they all won re-election this year (Willaims and Rackauckas were unopposed).

I've heard Mark Bucher's (WHO??) name thrown around for the 71st in 08. Bucher is a successful businessman, central committee member and conservative leader.

Ok who did I miss? Mission Viejo Councilman Frank Ury. Good point. Anyone else?
