Walter Moore has none of these. He has had 4 years to advance beyond where he was last time in terms of building a group of campaign supporters, raising money, and a presenting solutions to our city's problems. He hasn't done any of that in a significant enough way.<BR/><BR/>The million trees failure isn't the kind of issue that anyone cares about, and it certainly isn't anything that decides an election. <BR/><BR/>If it were important, Moore would be exploiting it and it would be resonating with the public and the media. But it's like McCain and the Rev. Wright or the Bill Ayers stuff. It didn't have an affect. For those who like to get nasty and negative it's fun, but it's not working with the voters.<BR/><BR/>Latina women can not like AV all they want. That's not a large number of people, and you still need someone who will be a credible opponent. Someone who has ideas that work with the voters, and someone who has the money or can get the money to deliver that message.<BR/><BR/>Walter is part of your Mayor Sam blogging club, so you can like him for that. But if you really about him, beating AV, and making this city better you need a viable candidate.<BR/><BR/>You name the odds you want on Walter becoming mayor and I'll take your bet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-15732387883114339122008-10-16T14:57:00.000-07:002008-10-16T14:57:00.000-07:00he demographics in this city are such that no righ...<I>he demographics in this city are such that no rightwing white guy is going to get elected mayor. </I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Walter Moore is not "right-wing", he's an Independent.<BR/><BR/>BTW, there were people at the rally on Tuesday night wearing Obama and McCain t-shirts.

Investments in shopping centers and multi-use retail housing developments are based on real estate and retail, as well as economic studies that would ensure a good investment strategy.

Get behind Walter, and let us retire Villaraigosa. The same goes for city attorney.
