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.

Hey Kim!

Hope Phil is watching.
And crapping bricks.

Hey Joe - the audio is totally saturated when any noise is present besides Paul talking.... can you work on that?
Unknown said:
No, I just suggest you turn the volume down low.

Can I join with you two lovely ladies, in celebrating these early results?
Petra Fried in the City said:
I didn't mean on my end... oh never mind. I'll try to lip read.
Petra Fried in the City said:
YES Spot! Yeehaw!
(I need to shut up - can't - too excited!)

Of course you can RS. I love the technology. If I didn't have four 9th graders here working on a video project, I would be there.
So this is kind of liking watching returns at a party without wearing makeup!

Didn't know Joe B. was a lovely lady. Ya learn somthin' every day.
Petra Fried in the City said:
Exactly, Kim. No makeup. No heels.

And I'm seeing a lot of my friends there and some of them might not be so happy to have that camera on them while they're eating. Or whatever they're doing... That computer needs to be raised up a few feet. Upshots aren't flattering.
DPSV shows! Nice. They endorsed and they're loyal. I like that.

What on earth is the holdup at the City Clerk's office?
Anonymous said:
The hold up is Phil Jennerjahn has taken the City Clerk hostage. He is considered armed & dangerous.
Just kidding.

Essel's Party is dead, people are leaving.Only Sheftel & Hernandez still kissing her butt. Epic Fail.
She is expected to concede within the hour.

No single precinct counted two hours after polls have closed is unprecedented. This could be a problem night.

11% of precincts are up. Percentages basically the same.

Poor Phil. He'll never be the same.

I called Phil but the signal was bad. The phone cut right as he was screaming something that sounded like he said Krekorian was stealing votes.

obese couple making out again and some old lady picking her nose while Mary Benson holds court.

You sure he wasn't saying something about Paul being a budget-killing socialist?

THat's my homie Andrea Gutman and her husband Steve in the pic.

Ok, now the cops have arrived. Essel
is still screaming. Shallman has ducked out. Berman is trying to calm her down. Dale Thrush and Sheftel are holding hands and crying.
Michael Higby said:
I'm not sure Petra. Phil sounded pretty upset about something.
Michael Higby said:
It's over.
Petra Fried in the City said:
How serious are you, MS?
Personally, if Phil stroked out it would be OK with me.
Petra Fried in the City said:
Okay, Paul - time to make it a true victory for us! It's time, man!
Michael Higby said:
It was hard to hear him Petra and then I lost him but he was not happy.
Petra Fried in the City said:
Hey - Paul just said it was MY victory!

How insane that you can become a Los Angeles City Council Member with only 10,000 votes - what a disgrace!
Kim said:
The make-out couple were gross. I agree, get a room.
I loved Paul's speech. I was hoping he would reach out to Chris Essel and her supporters and he did. I hope he does that. It's very important and I was so glad he said that.
How about Mary Benson's reception? Who's the CD 2 PLUM Queen?? Who says activists don't rule?
Good job to all, congratulations to everyone involved.
Now I'm going to sleep and they're all driving home.
Michael Higby said:
Hey Kim your photo looks cute.
Kim said:
Thanks Michael. That was my mom's birthday party in Ohio in July. You can't even tell that I was sleeping on the floor of the Houston airport just 6 hours before! (We got stuck there)
Funny comment on the radio silence. But give them a break. I wouldn't be posting either if I were on the losing side. They're mad, tired, and stressed and will stay that way for a week or so.
Goodnight to the MS crowd. I'm off to sleep.
