Running for mayor and coming in last, and concluding that your accomplishment is "I'm not semi known."<br /><br />2. Backing Christine Essel, who LOST in a LANDSLIDE.<br /><br />3. Taking on the Recall Antonio effort and refusing to give an update instead of admitting a mistake.<br /><br />4. Setting RANDOM odds on an election four years away, and forgetting to add a former CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY SPEAKER.<br /><br />5.

Hertzberg ...Here is my 2 cents on the Mayors race.<br /><br />Hertzberg would be a good mayor. Has a backbone and great mediation skills. Unfortunately, he has the political stinks on him. Even he says it. He has only won one race 12 years ago for assembly (oppossed re-elections do not count). Even his endorsed candidates get slaughtered such as Cherny (sp?), Waldman,( and this was for his own seat) Bliech (Who still has a bright future).<br /><br />Zev has a lot of the qualities needed to be mayor at a time some heads need to be bashed. Problem with Zev is that he is a big pussy. He had his chance in 1985 and again in 2009 and blew it. Does anybody doubt he would have been formidable against AV in March.<br /><br />As much as this may sicken a lot of you, Caruso probally has the best chance of winning. Probally turns out to be as successful as Gov. AS in actual execution.<br /><br />Garcetti will not win. He will have so much hung around his neck from raises for DWP, MM Disp. out of control, billboard money, etc... he already is starting to seem very sleazy. <br /><br />While I would love to see a women mayor, WG is done if she jumps next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-89088218212819379072009-12-11T17:51:22.584-08:002009-12-11T17:51:22.584-08:00The next Mayor of L.A. will be George Clooney.

Including Eric. <br /><br />None of these smug jerks has been tested anywhere NEAR what it would take to run any national race against someone with $5 million or more like in the last mayoral campaigns or in this city attorney race where the 'unknown' was really the candidate of the Republican money bags, including Riordan, Broad & their puppets at the Times. Who this time JOINED Antonio in backing the same candidate but her open ties to them as "their girl" the DWP and big money backfired. <br /><br />By linking herself to them, Wendy only hurt her own chances as well. Eric was wise NOT to endorse Essel, though being a chicken he didn't endorse anyone. Neither of them deserves to win, except that the others like Perry, LaBonge LOL and Wesson are worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-37104022562229398202009-12-11T16:38:43.342-08:002009-12-11T16:38:43.342-08:00I thought Walter was going to France.

What he lacks is a plan to win (where will the money or volunteer operation come from?) and the ability to appeal to a wide enough number of voters.
