Daily News Rick Orlov: "Joe Buscaino could provide an upset" in CD 15
Is Joe Buscaino building the bridge to an upset in CD 15?
Absentee ballots for the 15th Council District election are trickling in, and observers say it is looking more likely that an underdog candidate could provide an upset. (Surprise? Naught!)
LAPD Officer Joe Buscaino, who got his campaign mailers to voters earlier than any of his opponents, is said to be leading in polls conducted by his campaign and by others who are watching the race. (Buscaino did not have to wait for instructions from Special Interests)
Buscaino is competing against some political heavyweights -- Assemblyman Warren Furutani, former Councilman Rudy Svorinich and Firefighter Pat McOsker -- in the 11-candidate race to fill out the term of Janice Hahn, who was elected to Congress. (Heavy with Special Interest baggage)
Buscaino is a senior lead officer with numerous contacts in the community, and has become a proficient fundraiser. The latest campaign reports show him with more than $103,000, second only to Furutani, who reported more than $132,000. Both Buscaino and Furutani have received $100,000 in matching funds.(Most of Buscaino's money came from within the community)
McOsker, however, has been helped by more than $200,000 in independent expenditures, primarily from unions.(Boss D'Arcy of IBEW and SEIU 721)
Because of the size of the field, no one expects any of the candidates to get more than 50 percent of the vote in the Nov. 8 election, which would put the top two finishers in a Jan. 17 runoff.(With Buscaino being the truly home grown choice of the community)
Your thoughts..............

RICK ORLOV'S ON THE RIGHT TRACK. WHY DO ASSEMBLYMEMBERS WANT A COUNCIL JOB? IT'S CALLED BUCKS! AND TAXPAYERS CONTINUE TO FALL FOR THIS SH#T. RON KAYE STARTED A HALF OFF HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT DOING THAT INSTEAD HE THOUGHT HE COULD BEAT CITY HALL UNION,DEVELOPER SUPPORTED CANDIDATES, WHAT A MISTAKE. YOU HAVE TO BUILD ON YOUR CREDIBILITY FIRST. HALF OFF WOULD HAVE SEPARATED THE MEN FROM THE BOYS! IF THEY CARE TAKE A PAY CUT AND BONUS CUT. WE CONTINUE TO GIVE THESE THIEVES A FREE RIDE! NOW THEY WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SIDEWALKS AND SERVICES HOW STUPID!
First of all, Joe Buscaino is not the only homegrown choice. The truly homegrown choice is Frank Pereyda as well as John Delgado. Also what does a lead police officer know about running a business or City Council? How about he has never voted for the position he is running for. If he is not interested enough to make changes with his vote why would you ever elect him for this office? Thirdly he has changed his party affiliation to suit this election. While Frank Pereyda, Rudy Savornich and Gordon Tuber have remained true. I would never vote no matter what for Busciano knowing the afore mentioned. I will cast my vote for Frank Pereyda, check him out at www.frankpereyda.com
