Assemblyman Mike Gatto to forgo 25th State Senate District Campaign

The former Silver Lake, "Stay at Home Infant Assemblyman", now termed-out Assemblyman "Slobo Mike" Gatto, announces his intentions to forgo contentious 25th State Senate District Campaign against former Assemblyman Anthony Portantino and LA County Board of Supervisor Mike Antonovich.

The former "Infant Assemblyman"

 ** Blogger's Note: Its with profound sadness, via sources and the Sacramento Bee, that the former "Investigated Stay at Home Infant Assemblyman Lil Mikey", now grown into nearly, termed-out Assemblyman "Slobo Mike" Gatto, has announced that he will forgo his Campaign for the vacant 25th State Senate District Seat. Assemblyman Gatto is quoted by the Bee as sighting family concerns and the unsolved murder investigation of his father as primary reasons for dropping out of challenging Democratic rival Anthony Portantino and Republican Mike Antonovich for the Seat currently held by Carol Liu. But according to a reliable source, another possible reason for "Slobo Mikey" withdrawing from the contentious contest, was a poll that showed him performing poorly. "Slobo Mikey's" poor poll showing, can be attributed to his strained relationship with the Armenian Community as exampled by the recent "replay" of the 43rd Assembly District Democratic Delegate Elections, that saw a major victory for Anthony Portantino-supporting delegates----Scott Johnson.

Now termed-out Assemblyman "Slobo Mike" Gatto.

HOT Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

With termed-out Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Michael Antonovich now officially a candidate for the open 25th State Senate Seat, a new "Uncensored Antonovich Website", is up and running as the main Democratic Candidates, Assemblyman Mike Gatto and Anthony Portantino, prepare for a "Campaign Blueblood Letting" in 2016.  

The State Senate Campaign of termed-out Supervisor Michael Antonovich is already garnering opposition attention.

From last evening's KRLA 870 AM's Randy Economy Show, to this Sunday's afternoon cyber-missive via the LA Daily News, the disclosure of termed-out LA County Board of Supervisor Michael Antonovich's bid for the open 25th State Senate District Seat, is already garnering attention ......., including from Democratic Operatives, who want to keep the Seat in the Blue Category.

A new website titled "Uncensored Antonovich" at uncensoredantonovich.com, is up and running, exposing the supposed "Ethical Lapses", "Inappropriate Emails" and "Head-Scratching Decisions" from the Republican Antonovich's twenty-plus years on the Board of Supervisors.

 Its head-stratching to say the least, that surrogates of one of the two major Democratic Candidates in this contest, 43rd AD Assemblyman Mike Gatto and former Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, would put resources into the creation of this "uncensored outing of Antonovich ........, or maybe not.

While the voting demographics of the 25th State Senate District favors the Democrats, its not a given that under the State of California's "Open Primary Rules", that both Portantino and Gatto make the top two in a Runoff Election, considering that a strong Republican Candidate (in the form of Antonovich), could coalesce the party's register voters into a formidable block, that takes out either Assemblyman Gatto or Portantino.

Thus, if the political planets align the right way (and monetary resources are allocated) the California Republican Party (and Antonovich) can pull the upset in 2016.

** Continuing on the topic of quick responses, the Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee was the recipient of same-day recognition for its 12-2 Vote to approve the "Mobility 2035 Plan" (which should also garner legal attention in the near future) at its Friday Meeting. That afternoon, KFI 640 AM Afternoon Drive Duo of John and Ken, wasted no time in bestowing its weekly's "Hacks in the Dumpster Award" on the twelve, yes-voting Clowncil Central Committee Members (click link to hear Podcast), with special attention given to CD 11 Clowncilman Mike Bonin ......., and the "Social Justice Champion" (who went to Princeton) CD 14 Clowncilman Jose "Increase Mobility for USC" Huizar.

** Anybody with a spare "Benjamin" can get a inside look of a Former Failure Mayor Antonio Villar's Hollywood Hills Bachelor Pad as the former City Terrace Native hosts a fundraiser for the "2016 Hillary Indicted Legal Fund" tonight. While the "Person of Interest" will not be in attendance, you may have the opportunity to enjoy a ride with a "certain blogging, designated driver (for the right price of course)".

An Infant Assemblyman Lil Mikey Gatto Political Beat Down Update

In a major blow to the 2016 25th State Senate District Election aspirations of current 43rd AD "Infant Assemblyman Lil (turned racial profiler Slobo) Mikey" Gatto, a rerun of the 43rd Assembly District Delegate Elections results in a resounding, sweeping victory for the Anthony Portantino-connected "Democrats United Slate".

 We are on "Petulant, Infant Assemblyman Lil Mikey Gatto Political Tantrum Watch" 

Political Mothers should never let their Infant Assemblymen grow up to become ethnic cleansers of 43rd AD Delegate Voters (allegedly).

** Blogger's Note: In a remarkable showing of Grass Roots Activism, nearly a thousand of 43rd Assembly District Democrats turned out yesterday to partake in a California Democratic Party-mandated rerun of its 2015 Delegate Elections ....... and the results were a major repudiation of the Infant Assemblyman Lil (now Slobo) Mikey's supporters "voter suppression by ethnic (Armenian) surnames tactics (allegedly)". By a vote of roughly 585 to 245, the Anthony Portantino-connected "United Democrats Slate", achieved a resounding beat down of their Assemblyman Gatto-connected challengers. According to on scene and Social Media sources, a large percentage of Armenian voters turned out in support of the "United Democrats Slate" and were instrumental in its victory. Local political observer's were using the results as a political barometer of a VERY possible Assemblyman Gatto vs. former Assemblyman Portantino Battle Royale for the open 25th State Senate Seat in 2016 and judging from yesterday's turnout, the Grass Roots are not too happy with the "Infant Assemblyman "Lil (recent Slobo-like ethnic voter cleansing) Mikey" Gatto's political behavior---Scott Johnson.                                                                   

The victorious "Democrats United Slate" with Delegate Vote Observers.

Beware of "Gatto Truthers", with contrary spin, on yesterday's Political Beat Down.

Evening Brief on an Infantile Politico's latest Clensing of 43rd Assembly District Delegat(ians) for this Seventh Day

As many disenfranchise 43rd Assembly District Democratic Activists deal with the latest disempowering actions of an insecure politico, we ask our Blue Friends whether they want an "Infant Assemblyman", turned "Slobo Mikey", to be their next State Senator? 

The iconic, timeless portrait of a certain 43rd AD Infant Assemblyman. 

** Blogger's Note: Some 150 years and a day after the declared end to an American Blue and Gray Bloodletting, a modern day political brawl between "Blue Brothers and Sisters" in the California 25th State Senate District, has commenced ......, and the disenfranchisement of a ethnic group is the foundation for this latest  "Intra-Blue Political Schism". 

In a ideal 21st Century American Political World (especially within the confines of the Democrat Party), racial identity politics would be a far forgotten afterthought. Gone should be the day when Democrats (before the Republican-supported Civil Rights Act) took the lead in attempting to suppress voter empowerment based upon skin color.

But bluntly, for those who are register Democrats in the 43rd Assembly District, with a last name ending with "ian", the political cleansing of empowerment is becoming the norm under the reign of  infamous "Infant Assemblyman", turned potential 25th State Senate Candidate "Slobo Mikey" Gatto.

Two years remove from the 2013 43rd Assembly District Delegate Elections where Assemblyman "Slobo Mikey" Gatto cronies allegedly, sought to disqualify democratic activists with Armenian surnames in an ugly exercise of machine politics, "Slobo Mikey" and his Democratic Establishment Machine allies have gone to the extreme, in nullifying the 2015 incarnation of the Delegate Elections that saw "Gatto Truthers" get shut out in the contentious balloting.

With the State Democratic Party Convention forthcoming later in the month in Red Orange County, this local "Blue on Blue Bloodletting" is creating a Fort Sumter-like volley of charges and counter-charges which we excerpt below---Scott Johnson.  

Why does "Slobo Mikey" have issues with his "ian constituents" (allegedly)?

"Gatto Truthers" get Shut Out by Portantino Backers in 43rd AD Delegate Elections

In a possible preview of the upcoming 2016 25th State Senate District Contest between former Assemblyman Anthony Portantino and 43rd AD Assemblyman Mike Gatto, the Portantino Slate shuts out the "Gatto Truthers" 14-0, in the recent 43rd AD Democratic Delegate Elections.  

"The Infant Assemblyman" will surely shed petulant tears after Saturday's Delegate Elections Massacre.



 "Lil Mikey" contemplating the repercussions of the Portantino Faction coming in deep to inflict a resounding Delegate Elections Whoop Ass. 

 With Saturday's shutout of the Gatto Truthers in the 43rd AD Delegate Elections, the political resurrection of Anthony Portantino becomes more assured.
