Remember Damon Dunn? - Nan3cy - 06-09-2010

Don\'t remember his position at Stanford -- RB, WR, DB? -- mostly remember him as a kick returner. He\'s now trying to change positions by running for Calif. Secretary of State. He got a good start by beating Orly Taitz (Ms. Birther) in the Republican primary, something like 3-1 by the early returns. I don\'t think I ever learned anything about his background when he was playing, which is a little surprising because it was the kind of story we all just love. Here\'s a biographer he put on his campaign web site:
