 Voter's Guide to the June 6 California Primary / Phil Angelides / His roots give him a toughness when the going's rough
Angelides, 52, the state treasurer -- and a proud student of his people's history -- said his political opponents would do well to remember words attributed to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who marveled at the determination of the Greek resistance to Mussolini during World War II.
Angelides, the son of a Greek immigrant mother and a second-generation Greek father, said his attraction to public life began during his upbringing in a Sacramento home where inhaling newspaper coverage of politics and "watching gavel-to-gavel coverage of national conventions on television" was a way of life.
Angelides has dismissed criticism that the relationship represents a potential for undue influence -- even, as some have suggested, creating a "shadow governor'' -- and strongly defended his longtime friend.

 Governor Phil - Phil Angelides: Standing Up for the Middle Class   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Phil needs to keep hammering home this point, as it now only appeals to moderate middle-class voters, but to fiscal conservatives concerned with the Governor's (and indeed, the President's) reckless economic policies.
In many ways, Phil's emphasis on his pro-middle-class agenda and support for balanced budgets is reminiscent of Clinton's 1992 campaign, where he did both against a lackluster Bush I presidency.
Angelides invoked the name and some of the tone of the former president as he presented his new program of tax cuts for middle-class families.

 MercuryNews.com | 10/12/2006 | Angelides demands NBC drop governor interview on 'Leno'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
As Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sat in a television studio Wednesday afternoon taping a segment for ``The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,'' his Democratic rival in the governor's race, Phil Angelides, told a gathering of San Jose school teachers he was trying to prevent NBC stations from airing the segment.
Angelides -- who tried unsuccessfully to book himself on the show, after learning Schwarzenegger would appear -- urged the television network to pull the Wednesday night program, saying Jay Leno failed to provide ``equal time'' to his political rival as required by federal guidelines under certain conditions.
Angelides' appearance came minutes after his campaign manager, Cathy Calfo, released a stern letter sent to the 11 NBC affiliates in California in which she demanded they ``either pull `The Tonight Show' broadcast featuring Gov. Schwarzenegger,'' or ``offer Phil Angelides equal time on your station.''

In 1984, Angelides became president of Tsakopoulos' AKT Development Corp. He soon started his own development company, River West, and entered into a series of enduring real estate partnerships with Tsakopoulos, who was his financial and political godfather.
Angelides is substantially invested in real estate projects run by River West, the company he sold to an associate when he became treasurer.
