Coronado's 3 Rs: Resorts, Retirees and Romney

 — Don Hubbard is sitting on the front porch of his Victorian-era beach house, chatting under the shade of a purple-pink bougainvillea, when a Navy helicopter rumbles over his roof.

Then another.  “It’s quiet Coronado,” says Hubbard, softening his sarcasm with a smile. “It’s always like this.”

If the San Diego area remains a Navy town, then Coronado is its proud, patriotic town square. American flags dot the seaside burg like so many king palms on Orange Avenue. Old Glory bunting flutters atop long fences. The U.S. commander of Navy air forces works down the street, at North Island Naval Air Station.

Where can I get an Obama sign for our window?

I am also a neighbor and totally disagree with Mr Hubbard. I will be embarresed for the US if Romney is elected President or even receives a solid percentage of the votes.

Can we keep the politics out of here? There's plenty of other websites for that out there.

@ Suzzanne you can get them on line or at the campaign offices.

Dear Union Tribune: don't catagorize all of us in Coronado as Repubicans because we are not!
Comment by Neal Pataky on August 27, 2012 at 7:42pm
Mr. Hubbard, I respectfully disagree. I'm a Coronado resident and a proud supporter of President Obama.
That article was very skewed, but what else would you expect from the extremely right UT.

Every person has a right to his own opinion.  I, too, am a Coronado resident and disagree with Mr. Hubbard.  I am a supporter of President Obama.
