Surprise, surprise via LA Weekly Gene Maddaus that Nuch blames "Private Citizen/Political Consultant John Shallman for a large part of his "Tru-ly devastating" election defeat. The cost of Nuch's defeat can be counted with hundreds of thousands of votes but what is the financial cost for other Shallman clients who also shared the third place position in the Primary Election?

"ANOTHER SOULVINE THURSDAY"
.In this week's installment of "Another Soulvine Thursday", Betty Pleasant is dealing with conflicted emotions regarding the Primary Election results, as she states in her musing.
I have four feelings about the election results: I am ecstatic; I am happy; I am disappointed and I am indifferent. I am ecstatic about the fact that Carmen Lietanich did not make the runoff for district attorney. Given his name recognition, his endorsements from people I once thought had good judgment, the apparent size of his campaign war chest that enabled him to keep showing up grinning like an idiot in numerous annoying TV commercials — plus the fact that only he and Jackie Lacey had enough money to pay the exorbitant cost of a campaign pitch in the sample ballot — I was downright terrified that Lietanich would get enough votes to win the office outright. I actually prayed on it. I said, “O Lord, don’t let Lietanich win this race because I don’t believe I can live in a world that has Los Angeles County District Attorney Carmen Trutanich in it!” God is good

........ talk about political mood swings!!
Your thoughts ..............

Shallman is too spread out. He's working on so many campaigns that he can only give a half-assed job to each, so everyone of his clients suffer.

The samne thing will happen with all his upcoming L.A. City races.
Watch.

Right now he'll have 5 or 6 candidates running next March.

Receipe for disaster.
