Morning Briefs on Campaign Themes for Election Day

Can Republican Elan Carr pull off the Upset in defeating Democrat State Senator "Hamas Teddy" Lieu to replace Lefty Liberal Congressman Henry Waxman in the 33rd Congressional District?

Republican Elan Carr and Democrat State Senator "Hamas Teddy" Lieu.

Its all about turnout.

While the rest of America is set to roll back the corrupt President Barack "H" Obama Collectivist Dependentcrat Agenda, the silent majority of "Greece on the Pacific's" (formerly the Golden State) Independent and Republican Voters can do its share, by growing the Republican Congressional Majority (for example, in the 33rd Congressional District) and dissolving the Super Majorities in Sacramento. The following local races represent the best opportunities to do just that ......,

Morning Briefs on the Dysfunctional, Collectivist Los Angeles Political Machine for Hump Day

The California "Collectivist Dependentcrat's" two-thirds, super majority hold on the State Assembly, is tethering this early A.M. as Republican Susan Shelley is only 173 votes behind the Sherman/ Gatto Machine Candidate Matt Dababneh in the 45th Assembly District Special Election, with more ballots to be counted.  

From left to right, Collectivist Dependentcrat Matt Dababneh and Republican Susan Shelley.

Great morning to all as the Sun rises on a rumbling political landscape in the Western San Fernando Valley.

Upstart Republican Assembly Candidate Susan Shelley may be on the verge of ending the Collectivist Dependentcrats, One Party Rule in California if she can somehow overcome a oh-so-slim 173 vote deficit in her surprising showing in yesterday's 45th Assembly District Special Election.

With outstanding Absentee and Provisional Ballots yet to be counted, the Shelley Campaign's showing in a supposed strong Democratic District, against a highly-financed Sherman-Gatto Machine Candidate, is sure to send political shock waves to Sacramento and nation-wide as Collectivist Dependentcrats face an angry electorate, reeling from the utter fiasco that is (hopefully was) Obamacare come 2014.

California's Collectivist Dependentcrats are fond of touting the once Golden State, now "Greece on the Pacific's" political, trend-setting proclivities, but instead, it may be a upstart Republican Female Candidate in Susan Shelley, despite being out-spent 10 to 1, who has set the political benchmark for a "red resurgence" in 2014. 

** The "Old Gray Collectivist Hag on Spring Street" (aka LA Times) is full of stories in today's edition of Collectivist Dependentcrats spending schemes gone amok.

** First, the DWP Commission took a stand against IBEW Boss Brian D'Arcy's supposed "Job Training/ Employee Safety Non-Profits" by cutting off funding yesterday. Rightfully indignant at the lack of disclosure regarding the line-item accounting of $40 Million dollars plus of past fund, the appointed oversight body requested that City Controller Ron Galperin conduct the objective auditing that ratepayers deserve.

** Second, the City Clowncil Central Committee is set to move forward and support the Port of Los Angeles Container Terminal overhaul that has double in cost from its original estimate. CD 15 Clowncil Central Committee Member "Average Joe" Buscaino should looking inward into his formerly "Republican Fiscal Soul" and demand a full accounting how the port authorites bypass the Clowncil Central Committee in not reporting the true costs.

** Third and lastly, once again LAUSD is rewarded with column inches of newsprint coverage for its dysfunctional iPad Program as yet another hidden cost is outed by the "Collectivist Gray Hag's" Education scribes.

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday

The Former Men (Fabian and Antonio) of Mirthala Salinas take opposite sides in the alleged Herbalife Pyramid Scheme Controversy.

 The Central Figure of Mayor Sam's "Sancha Watch" Mirthala Salinas.

** Morning disclaimer: Please pardon the absence of our normal cheerful bloggin demeanor, as this blogger battles a stomach virus. Thus, if our blogging content today takes on an edgy, snarky persona, you have been warned---Scott Johnson.

With no apologies to the poster girl for aspiring Telebimbos, we check in on the current status of the central figure of Mayor Sam's "Sancha Watch" Mirthala Salinas. Last we saw Mirthala, she was trying to salvage her journalism career in Riverside, after being branded as the "other woman", that send Antonio Villar and Corina Raigosa to Divorce Court. Judging from Mirthala's website, her professional rehabilitation is preceding well as she is again reading the news, in Espanol, for the 11 PM, Channel 62 Newscast.

Our Mirthala update is predicated on LA Weekly's Gene Maddaus latest musing regarding former Mirthala's "lover of the moment" ex Mayor Antonio Villar new job as an advisor for Herbalife and the fact that another Mirthala "ex lover of the moment", former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, has been retain by Herbalife's primary critic Hedge Fund Manager Bill Ackman.

We would love to translate Mirthala's take on the roles her "ex lovers of the moment" are playing in the Herbalife Controversy. But we all know what happen the last time Mirthala reported, on air, about a "lover of the moment". 

** In the latest political faceoff between the City Councilman Paul Krekorian Political Machine and the Congressman Brad Sherman/ Assemblyman Mike "Lil Porno Mikey" Gatto Political Cabal, the Sherman/ Gatto Cabal was victorious as Congressman Sherman staffer Matt Dababneh was the top Dependentcrat vote getter in the 45 Assembly District Special Election. Finishing a surprising second in the overall vote, was Republican Susan Shelley, who will face Dababneh in a November Runoff.

** We put our current bloggin snarky demeaner on hold for the moment to bring you the latest "Regardie Report" via the reigning "Scribe of Wit" Downtown News Editor Jon Regardie. In his latest missive, Regardie chats it up with new CD 3 City Councilman Bob "Two Face" Blumenfield. Its refreshing to note that "Two-Face Bob" is willing the defy the past City Clowncil Central Committee practice of unanimous consent on issues, by simply voting "Nyet". Hopefully in the future, we may be treated to a Regardie Report on CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar pledge not to "play around" with the hire help (allegedly).

** Lastly ................, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANA CUBAS!! In honor of the former CD 14 Chief of Staff and CD 9 City Council Candidate Ana Cubas. We bring you this CD 9 Campaign Flashback as Cubas counts down the hours to her birthday bash this evening.

  Mission Distributors may want to get the Bud Lite on ice early.
