In comparing the contributers of Krekorian to donors of the Essel Campaign, this race is setting up as a contest between the Democratic Party establishment, with their labor and environmental allies for Krekorian, with the Downtown power brokers, entertainment industry and developers siding with Chris Essel.
** OTHER CD 2 SPECIAL ELECTION NEWS:
KRLA 870 AM Talk Radio Host Kevin James will have both Chris Essel and Paul Krekorian in studio for a debate this evening at 9:00 PM. Callers will be able to ask questions of the respective candidates.

Red Spot- Don't forget us community folks in CD2 who are supporting Paul.

Between these two groups i will take Paul's backers any day. And I am a Sunland Republican.

We simply cant afford Essel, she will be a disaster.

It's Paul in a walk, there is such broad lining up in CD2 against Essel that no amount of money will win the race for her.

Hi, I'm a little late to this Special Election and I want to insure I make the best informed decision. You all seem to know what you are talking about, can some one tell me didn't Paul Krekorian JUST GET ELECTED to the State Assembly?? Why is he attempting to leave that post right after he just got elected??

Essel should just wait till Jan Perry leaves and then she can go represent her friends in downtown.

Even the most jaded of Mayor Sam readers (with the exception of Jennderdoodle)must know, that Krekorian's donors are far less toxic than the dirty money Essel has lined her pockets with.

12:23 PM, don't expect Benson to endorse of these scum-suckers. She has WAY more class than stoop to the level of Essel the Queen SB1818 and Krekorian the dirty race-baiter.

Not a single opponent of Paul Krekorian's from the CD 2 primary election has endorsed him.

That tells you what his political opponents think about Paul.

No escaping that ugly fact.

Essel 4 Krekorian 0.

Is Joe B. going to endorse? Tamar was the best candidate so I trust his judgement.

11:51 Ditto for me! I'm from Sunland-Tujunga also! I have no problem with Pauls support from the environmalist, but I do have a problem with special interest contractors and L.A. City Hall supporters. No one should take S-T's vote for granted! We learn from our mistakes!

12:44 Mary Benson was the best candidate, but she lack the funds to complete on the same level as those in the run off.

Wow! So Jennerjahn thinks the 4 bottome rung losers are meaningful? Give me a break. Starting at the bottom: #10 Bisani, #9 Essavi, #8 Zuma Dogg and #7 Frank Sheftel. You can fit the value of these endorsements in a thimble. E$$el the empty vessel can't fill it with these light weights.

Damn, Red Spot, you can cut-and-paste with the best of them. This time from the City Ethics site, right?

You must be from CD14.

If the "copy" function on your PC ever dies the way your spellchecker did, you'll be totally out of business.
