Bob Mulholland is the California Democratic Party's "senior advisor and long time chief spokesperson"[1], The November 1991 San Francisco Bay Guardian alleged he intercepted registration cards from Democratic Party voter registration tables of voters who had re-registered Green Party, sending the card back to the voter with a letter on state Democratic Party letterhead asking the voter to reconsider the change of party. Withholding a voter registration card for more than three days is a misdemeanor in California.
Mulholland gained national attention for involvement in the Bruce Hershenson vs. Barbara Boxer campaign of 1992. [1] Mulholland supposedly leaked a rumor that Hershenson was into porn and frequented a porn shop.[citation needed] Mulholland was "fired" by the Democratic Party, then rehired weeks after Boxer won.[citation needed] He is also known for his work to block a 2007 censure resolution against California Senator Diane Feinstein for her vote to support the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey as United States Attorney General without a vote. He is quoted as saying "It is going to be thrown out and rejected. Sometimes people can't anticipate or can't understand the big picture."[2]
