This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

anybody catch "Ask the mayor" tonight? Gotta love that, "Alex Padilla was snubbed...by one of the prominent democratic clubs of the SFV" report.
Ouch.

Congratulations, but, heck, Pacheco and Torres III have accounted for at least 450,000 hits all by themselves, what with their CD 14 Blogging Team and foolish antics that are going to get Janett about 10 years to pay for their publicity.
Martin is singing the conspiracy song right now; how are they gonna get around that one???

Awesome achievement, Sam!
Do blogs matter? My guess is two-to-five percent in any election. And of course, the degree to which print and broadcast media journos and other political operatives read them give them influence in other ways.
[Obliged to point out that while MayorSam has been fetching over 1,000 visitors a day for weeks, Monica Garcia fell exactly 504 votes short of outright election on Tuesday. She didn't work the blogosphere, either...not the bloggers anyway...maybe the comments, though.]
[Of course, if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal....]
Every day there are things you read here that appear nowhere else in LA. Congratulations, Mayor---you know what civitas is.

Congrats Sammy. Thanks for a place to vent, post and inquire about the goings on of LA Politics.
Although there are many who post here and make fun of what they read you obviously have a big audience and I've been told that reporters come on to learn a thing or two.
Yes indeed the Ludlow corruption scandal, District 2 runoff and the unions wanting to negoiate their contract will keep you very busy in the next couple of months.
