Moore got 7,644 votes in CD2 in the mayoral race. Those were hard core right wing, anti-Villaraigosa votes. Moore's been promoting Mary Benson on his website and for sure he's been using his email list to get his people to turn out and vote. 7,644 votes for Benson will guarantee her a seat in the run off and that's a problem for Villaraigosa's Big 3.<br /><br />More interesting is the number of Trutanich vs. Weiss votes in CD2; it was a landslide for Trutanich as all the Moore/Berger people went with Trutanich. Neither Trutanich nor Berger have said anything about the CD2 race, which is strange considering Tamar Galatzan is a part-time deputy city attorney. What's worse for Galatzan is that a bunch of people in the city attorney's office are secretly working for her campaign, and they are the same people who supported Jack Weiss. If the Moore voters find out that Galatzan is a Weiss type, it will drive them to the polling stations faster than a double dose of Ex Lax.<br /><br />The value of the Moore/James endorsement obviously has Galatzan worried as she's mobilized her Young Dem bloggers to keep on hammering Benson for her religion, and now they're also trying the Prop 8 thing. Dunno who's running Galatzan's campaign but if they really think religion and gays are factors in CD2, they should also throw the NRA into the mix. That really worked for Weiss, didn't it? Not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-56232857816900550582009-09-19T21:20:47.666-07:002009-09-19T21:20:47.666-07:00Yeah ok, but only like three people in CD 2 listen...Yeah ok, but only like three people in CD 2 listen to Kevin James.

No one is more vengeful than that bunch. <br /><br />It takes one to know one.<br /><br />Partly because of this, her guts, James likes Tamar next best. Since voting for Mary would hurt her most, since they'd never vote for the other 2 Big Ones, it's not a smart move frankly. He said he considered endorsing both of them like the Daily News but went with one -- as the declared Republican and Walter Moore's candidate. And James and Walter himself haven't gotten over that he didn't win. They're deluded about their ability to get Mary into the runoff so they're just spoilers. <br /><br />IF you want Essel to win, vote for Mary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-41689077454381060262009-09-19T16:03:08.235-07:002009-09-19T16:03:08.235-07:00Sad to say but Joe and Abby have lost a lot of cre...Sad to say but Joe and Abby have lost a lot of credibility in the community.
