BTW, did anyone vett this guy before giving him party money?
Probably not. Boehner and the GOP leadership bigwigs likely learned there was a homo pervert running for office under the GOP banner, and they got so excited and aroused, they just immediately tossed millions his way.
They just can’t get enough sodomy and poo-play in that “big tent” of theirs. They’ll make more room by continuing to shove tea-partiers and social-conservatives out the door.
He’s been getting big bucks from Boehner while other candidates like the Michigan senate candidate have been starved of funds. The GOPe playbook, step by step
Yes, he is a big favorite of the California Republican Party.
In 2012, DeMaio lost to Bob Filner for San Diego Mayor. Bob Filner resigned as mayor after only 8 months in office due to a sexual harrassment scandal.
DeMaio did not run in the 2013 mayoral special election to replace Filner. The Republican who ran and won was Kevin Faulconer. DeMaio had a promise of big Republican for his congressional run in 2014.
Big Republican donors were counting on his marquee name on next June’s ballot to draw conservatives to the polls and help the party’s down-ballot candidates. They also preferred to back a less divisive figure like Faulconer for mayor after Mayor Bob Filner’s combative tenure ended after less than nine months amid a sexual harassment scandal.

I don't live in this congressional district, so I be casting a vote. My opinion is that San Diego does not need another elected official that can't keep it zipped. I would prefer that DeMaio not win this election.
