Nation hits mailboxes with health care-focused mailer
By Alex IsenstadtState Senate candidate Joe Nation is out with a health care-focused mailer that will be arriving in homes throughout the San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma-area district.
“When it comes to the universal health care, Democrat Joe Nation doesn’t follow others – he leads,” the mailer reads. “Joe has a detailed universal health care plan that is fiscally responsible and would cover all Californians and lower health care costs. His plan is almost identical to proposals advanced by Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It builds on his universal health care legislation he introduced while representing Marin and Sonoma counties in the State Assembly.”
A Nation adviser says the mailer is being distributed to 65,000 in the Third District.
Nation, a former assemblyman, is facing off against incumbent Carole Migden and Assemblyman Mark Leno in a June 3 Democratic primary.

Joe's learning curve took a dive
I think it's disingenuous of Joe Nation to run for the Senate after complaining that he didn't want to leave the Assembly because of term limits. By the time he learned his way around the Assembly he timed out. He thought he should be given another six years. Now he has found new contributors: big oil and pharma, and he wants to be in the state senate, more new stuff to learn and less time to do anything but ponder the meaning of words.
Which is all that Joe did for Marin. As Jon Frieman et. al. have said, he dumped on healthcare as an Assemblyman, and he got along just fine with the war in Iraq. He doesn't (or at least didn't) think personal privacy is important, either.
I think Joe Nation stands before us as nothing more than a tool for money. He stands for the weather, like some kind of a logo.
