Hillman's nomination was recommended by House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco."
"Shelley got a vote of confidence from one powerful ally Monday, fellow San Franciscan Pelosi, who said she does not believe the state auditor general's report indicated a misuse of federal money."
The republicans are building a case against Kevin Shelley out of basically nothing, which is what you find if you read past the hype and hyperbole in these Chronicle stories and just sift out the facts. If they can smear Pelosi, then they can say that her support of Shelley is likewise suspect, which would be a total lie, but this is where I'm seeing them head with this. If the repubs succeed in getting rid of Shelley, then the no paper-trail Diebold machines will come back and California's votes will mysteriously turn republican.
