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.

Phil,
Have you lost your mind? Are you so desperate to save your candidate that you bring up this old and irrelevant news?

Maybe one of you "Krekorian" Fans can explain exactly what the "Armenian Genocide" has to do with the issues facing CD2?

You all seem ready to believe he's got our best interests at heart. He's a politician. He'll tell you anything you want to hear. If you haven't realized that yet,you're an idiot.

Nothing, until Essel held a fundraiser with Genocide Deniers.

She shouldn't be wearing pearls with that casual shirt and jacket look.
What were people saying below about her and Essel, they both can't get the casual look together, because they only know how to look OK in the traditional "dress for success" look for second-tier female executives with no personal style? Perfect to fit in with the council women now if you want more of the shame.

Is Facebook is an indicator of who is going to win?
Essel has 292 friends
Krekorian has 2886

The flyer predates the fundraiser. BTW, after the URL didn't come through completely, at least that's how it appears. Try again:

Actually, Krekorian has over 40,000 friends; they are all being released soon and will join us here in CD 2.
Thanks, Paul for your vote!!

Actually, Facebook is a very good indicator. It means that people wanted to be friends with Krekorian.
Get with the new way of getting things done. Through the internet and social networks like this.
Paul is going to kick some Essel butt.
Wendy who? Oh, Wendy Whocares.

It's a career politician vs. a novice. A carbon copy of Weiss vs. Trutanich. All the 'smart' money is on the career politician, but the same issues apply. If you want to see what damage these career pols cause, just take a look at the way that jerk Paul Koretz is behaving; billboards and medical marijuana, he's part of the problem, never the solution. Unlike Trutanich, who actually wants to shake things up and get some progress, Koretz likes the business as usual approach and relishes drinking at the fountain of AEG's slush fund. Vote your conscience CD2, get rid of career pols.

HIGBY, DO YOU SEE NOW HOW IT IS WHEN YOU PUT A CHILD LIKE PHIL IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE WROTE ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN CD2?
ARE YOU GETTING YOUR JOLLIES ON THIS?
WHO CARES WHO MARTIAN WENDY IS VOTING FOR? WE ALREADY KNOW SHE CHOSE E$$HOLE, THE ULTIMATE CARPETBAGGER.
THIS IS NOT ANYTHING NEW.
BTW - PHIL WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO UPDATE US ON HOW MANY "RECALL ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA" SIGNATURES YOU GOT?
YOU NEED 240,000
YOU DON'T HAVE MORE THAN A DOZEN
YOU CAME IN LAST PLACE
YOU PLAN ON RUNNING FOR CONGRESS.
YOU LOOKED LIKE AN IDIOT WEARING A COWBOY HAT IN CITY HALL YESTERDAY, AND YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE BELLY ON YOU TOO.
SO HOW MANY OF THE SIGNATURES DO YOU HAVE? THIS QUESTION IS NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR UNTIL YOU TELL US. YOU PROMISED AN UPDATE IN OCTOBER, AND WE'RE JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM DECEMBER.
THIS QUESTION WILL STAY HERE EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU RESPOND.

Two questions for today:
Phil I thought you were trying to HELP Christine Essel. Are you telling them that with Essel in office its like having Wendy back? Ask the folks in CD2 they couldn't vote for Wendy fast enough to be controller because her staff is just horrific.
Hacopian, where's my coffee?

Krekorian's vote to release the 40,000 looms huge in CD 2.
All reidents talked to by people knocking on doors are furious about that vote and do not want these dangerous felons in their neighborhood.
What was Paul thinking aobut when he cast his vote?
Certainly not the safety of his constituents.
Do we really want a fool like this representing us??
Not me. I'm going to vote for Essel.

Hey Essel plant, where's your proof of this accusation? There isn't any and you know damn well that Krekorian did not vote to release prisoners early. WARNING: Essel's campaign continutes to lie and lie some more.
Copy and paste the link below to the letter from Sheriff Lee Baca's letter endorsing Paul and applauding Paul's efforts in the state assembly in standing with law enforcement in blocking early release. Quote: "Blocks the State's early release proposal and prevents the early release of any prisoners."

There's the proof, 9:56. Now go crawl back under your rock.

Mayor Greuel and Councilmember Essel will bring a much needed touch to the City of Los Angeles. The Boys Club better get used to putting down the tolit seat around ctiy hall.
The residents of CD2 stand to gain a step up over the rest of the city having Wendy as Mayor and Christine to back her up. Go Ladies!
The Best Man for the Job is a Women.

6:31 AM doesn't seem to get that just because Essel has never run for office doesn't mean she's not going to do exactly what they (the politicians who are trying to get her elected) tell her to do.
Being a career politician doesn't make you a bad politician. Some are good and some are bad.
In the case of CD 2, the people who want Essel in are the people who have no conscience.
So to the residents of CD 2, vote your conscience and don't let developers, real career politicians (as opposed to a school board member turned assemblyman), and the various chambers of commerce twist the issue and make you believe that Essel is a simple down home gal waiting to just get on in there and do the right thing while using Palinesque phrases like Darn Tootin'.
Paul Krekorian is the best thing for the entire city of Los Angeles and therefore, the residents of CD 2 are holding the rest of us our political lives in their hands.
Girls for Paul said:
LOL And how many women will it take to do the job, genius?
Go ladies, or you'll end up doing nothing but cleaning "tolit" seats. Don't let women like the poster above set you back. Sometimes a womAn is the best person for the elected position. Unless you're Chris Essel and running against Paul Krekorian, then...not so much. She'll ruin your district, the valley and the rest of the city.
She just needs a job. She can find one in this economy. We don't need her around the horseshoe.

1:02, stop with the bra burning. What the hell does gender have to do with it? I'm a woman and see through the ruse of those two. Besides, it's the Mayor pulling the strings of these two puppets. And it's about who is the best qualified, period! And they aren't. Wendy consistently sold us down the river in CD2, now as we find out, because of her ties to not just the Mayor but to developers and downtown lobbyists. Ask the community leaders who fought the city ordinance (re SB1818), and about local developments where neighborhoods got screwed. Where was Wendy? Voting against us. Ask Studio City about their DWP category and the Metro-Universal development. Ask North Hollywood about the Snyder development on Laurel Canyon, ask Valley Glen about the Barbara Ann development. Ask Sherman Oaks NC and Van Nuys NC about the breakaway group, allowed to join Sherman Oaks. I could go on and on with examples but I'm getting nauseous just thinking about Wendy's betrayal.
Essel is cut from the same cloth but with a lot less knowledge of CD2, A LOT LESS!! No thanks! Say no to special interests, lobbyists, PAC money, etc. Both Wendy and Chris Essel have dirty hands and we mustn't let them wipe them on us.
Vote no to big money, corruption and Chris Essel. Vote yes for Paul Krekorian, the only person (gender neutral as it must be) qualified to serve our best interest.

1:02, so the next time you need a surgeon, you'll go to a female doctor rather than a male surgeon, right? Let me know as I have a great female dentist. I'm sure she can perform that appentectomy just fine.
