OC GOP machine gets punked as Sandra Hutchens becomes the new Sheriff- June 11, 2008 I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life! I thought the OC GOP machine had victory in the bag and that their boy Paul Walters would succeed Mike Carona. But Supervisors John Moorlach, Pat Bates and Janet Nguyen decided to go with Sandra Hutchens as our new Orange County Sheriff. What happened I think that Moorlach in particular did not want to look stupid again. He previously supported our disgraced former Sheriff, Mike Carona, and our lame O.C. Treasurer Chriss Street.
