Word spread like wildfire that Stephen Whitburn would be hosting a press conference on his birthday tomorrow at Twiggs in University Heights at 5:30pm.

Everyone remembers Whitburn for his strong come from behind campaign in 2008 against Todd Gloria. He has been popping up more and more as he has rebuilt his image for a political comeback. All eyes were on him to run for the State Assembly 76th AD seat in 2012 when Toni Atkins runs for State Senate instead of re-election for State Assembly. So when several buddies started claiming that Stephen Whitburn was holding a press conference tomorrow to announce his candidacy for County Board of Supervisors, I had a good laugh.

Why would someone throw away the chance of being a frontrunner for 2012 to run a long shot campaign for Board of Supervisors in 2010?

Whitburn is either being very valiant in running against Roberts in the BoS race or he is going to announce that Donna will grant his biggest birthday wish and will re-enter the race for Board of Supervisors.

I am betting that he will do just that and not announce his own candidacy for Board of Supervisors. Or he might be announcing his 2012 campaign two years ahead of time. After all Steve Danon did it successfully and is now the guy to beat. If Steve could do it that far ahead of time then so can Stephen.

But if he does pop my bubble and doesn’t announce a Frye re-entry but a Whitburn campaign for Board of Supervisors then count me in as a supporter.
