That doesn't change the information--I have been following this election a bit, and it is not as you say all lies or distortions. And I definitely don't like Krekorian, I might even prefer Essel over him! But I by FAR prefer several of the grassroots candidates and will be voting for McCue. 2nd choice is Zuma Dogg--brash as he may be, he is one of the REAL people in this election. It's no secret to anyone who's been paying attention to more than just the mailers that the "big three" are in it for themselves and not the communities, and you don't have to be working for a campaign to want REAL REPRESENTATION for once. Essel and Krekorian moved into this district just to run, what does that tell you? In any case, perhaps it was inappropriate for me to post that here and if so I apologize.

Half its claims are distortions, the other half are lies. "Hmmm..." is obviously someone working for another campaign.

I've seen her in action, and she's great at playing to the perceived audience (so is Krekorian, I might add), but from what I understand she's the most supportive of high-density development in this race. Such developments obviously cause a high amount of traffic problems in areas which can barely handle them as they stand today. If she is elected I wouldn't be surprised if she turned around and eliminated bicycle lanes. She's lied so many times during this campaign it's ungodly.
