Notes on the "Election Scorecard" (with respects to the late, great Allan Malamud)

Great place to take a "June Gloom Snooze" in solitude was any polling place in Los Angeles.

But for those who did their duty, or the majority who didn't, here are some thoughts on the results of yesterday's election.

2nd District Board of Supervisors:
Mark Ridley-Thomas 56,951 45.2%
Bernard Parks 50,051 39.8%
Antonio Alvarez 5,012 5.0%
Martin Luther King Aubrey 4,012 3.2%

$$$$ from assorted unions bought only a runoff in November??

Los Angeles County District Attorney:
Steve Cooley 327,088 64.3%
**Albert Robles** 101,886 20.0%
Steve Ipsen 79,357 15.6%

**The former Defence Attorney for "Albert T. Robles" of South Gate outpolled a sitting Deputy District Attorney. Nice to know that people will vote base upon a surname compare to association and past deeds, err, misdeeds in the case of "Little Albert".

Hot political rumor for 2010, "Gloria vs. Gloria Cat Fight" for Board of Supervisors.

Assembly District 46 "Nunez's Seat":
John Perez 4,299 54.5%
Arturo Chavez 1,330 16.9%
Ricardo Lara 1,150 14.5%
Michael Aldapa 1,121 14.1%

$345,000 compare to $1,ooo dollars for the one guy who ramain in the race after "Cousin Tony" cleaned the deck, bought you only 54% percent of the vote. A sign of a "Villar backlash"??

District 45 Democratic Central Committee:
Stay tune, this one deserves its own special thread.........
