If Rudy wins then its fresh eyes and more of a passion not to be lazy and be in the community unlike Huizar. Huizar can't ignore there are many who opposed him. They will be nailing him every chance they get at meetings all over the district. This is why Huizar can't go anywhere with at least 15 of his staffers and calling anyone who can show up with him.

Rudy's "Youtube" videos have been viewed by 200 people at most in months (there's that "200" number again). <br /><br />His subscription-required e-mails lists that he sends lame e-messages to - between 300-400 names, no more. Most already committed to vote for him... NO net gain.<br /><br />Almost half the actual voters in the district don't even have a readily accessible e-mail; this is still one of the most digitally divided areas of town. NOT conducive at ALL to a "grass roots" online campaign.<br /><br />Rudy's Website (and Huizar's too for that matter), are static billboards that attract hardly anyone. Most areas of them haven't been updated in months, since they were first launched. The read like the same slick mailers that have been scanned and left to rot. Zzzzzzzzzzzz<br /><br />Pros like Huizar and Parke Skelton use snail mail heavily because it is STILL the only universal means of reaching every possible voter.<br /><br />They use it because it works. They use it - MUCH better than Rudy's dirty alley mailers - because it has provided Huizar with landslide victories TWICE for City Council, EACH time over someone BETTER known than Rudy.<br /><br />Each time over someone who HAD a track record of service to CD14 (Rudy's only "record" in the district is the one that contains 4 CRIMINAL convictions, and fleeing the scene of a crime).<br /><br />BUH bye Rudy, and even better BUH bye "Martinez Family" posters here - but I'm sure Red Spit will welcome all 5 of you continuing to bash Huizar here for the next 4-8 years, while he decides whether to run for mayor in 2017.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-63425067345900735972011-03-07T06:39:25.254-08:002011-03-07T06:39:25.254-08:007 people will be vying for the Mayor position.

They had so many volunteers, they sent me and several others away with an apologetic "thanks anyway"). By 1 p.m., there were so many volunteers, they had nothing left for any new ones to do. <br /><br />All precincts covered, all phones fully booked. In ONE weekend, the weekend that matters most for day-of polling. <br /><br />And, just to recap, and compare-- just a week or so ago, Rudy Martinez told the LA Weakest newspaper that, after walking the districts precincts for several months, they had still about half to go.<br /><br />Rudy's volunteers (friends and family) had covered only half the district in several months.<br /><br />Huizar GOTV volunteers -- same territory, fully canvassed in one weekend.<br /><br />Sorry, Scott Johnson, Clean Sweep LA, etc. and all the other blamers and haters.<br /><br />Huizar is reelected Tuesday, with a double-digit lead.

Out of the 80 Fake Neighborhood Watches why did only 1endorse Huizar and their faces on his mailer. Its shocking how lame and uneducated people can be. The fact is for Huizar being the incumbent he only received a measley $76,000 from the unions that endorsed him. Doesn't look as if they had high hopes for their candidate when compared to Chris Essel who lost her election and the unions poured $$$$ for her campaign. 2:23pm is sadly one of those saps who sees the blight in Boyle Heights and like Huizar turns a blind eye. 2:23pm should be upset Huizar has turned the community into Tijuana, Cairo, Bagddad looks better and cleaner then the mess Huizar has brought in. 68% of population thanks to Huizar is ILLEGALS NOW.

Not to mention how dirty and shabby the business district has become. THe sidewalks are so dirty. It's scary to see these vendors in neighborhoods when you are going to visit family and friends. It would drive me crazy to hear those bells ringing all day long as they walk the neighborhood. It's quality of life issues that are not being handled. I don't feel safe to get out of my car anymore.
