You're high on Arceo and Sanchez by about half, low on Heckmann and De Vera by about the same, and the big two will be closer (within 3-4 points), but the order is correct.

All (early) absentees, so far, except for one small precinct counted. The absentees tallied so far could represent as much as 2/3 of the total mail-ins so far, but most would have been received and counted before today.
If this hangs around the 50 percent for too much longer (when we get around 40 precincts in, etc), we won't know tonight whether there's a runoff of not. It will take the counting of those received today and in the polling places to finalized it - one way or another.
Plus the late absentees may lean a different way than the earlier ones based on late mailings (attacks from several sides, on several players).

These are the same people who still believe Av started 80 neighborhood watches (while he was out of town, with the help of staff who still get lost driving from one event to another).
It's all in the bucks, and people wanted to please AV, so they paid through the Jose to get to him.
Huizar will be reelected in 2007, then skip out and run for some other position within a year after that, barely beating AV's 2-years-in office tenure.

I disagree Mayor. This is a very good day for California and Los Angeles will be just fine..
For every string of Huizar's that AV can pull, he will be unable to do that to Wesson. Wesson is his own man and he doesn't need AV's approval.

Right or wrong about the outcome, Trujillo's usefullness in local politics is nill. His goofing here will follow him everywhere he goes... he's the "Alvin Parra" of the political blogosphere (and "Alvin" is the Homer Simpson of L.A. politics).

If you seriously think that blogging here could ruin Trujillo's political effectiveness... you've got another thing coming.

With the results from last night it is obvious that serious people need to ask questions.
How can Pacheco's campaign implode to such an extent. All indication point to internal sabotage and back stabbing.
The culprit is not hard to identify, Eric Hacopian.
How can a person go from being AV's consultant to being Pacheco's in the next election.
How can Parke Skelton's business partner run a campaign against a Parke's candidate?
How can some one with close ties to Richard Murello run Pacheco's campaign?
Did Hacopian hire an incompetent fundraising team to hurt Nick's campaign?
Can a person like that really be trusted?
What did Hacopian reveal of the Pacheco game plan to AV after he left the campaign.
Was he a plant all along.
With all the coverage in this race no one seems that no one has the guts to ask these questions.
