Leading Assembly candidate Michele Martinez lands big endorsements

• "This comment long confirms my impression that Art understands at most 10% of what I say"..... Hmmmmm

  Obviously Art is not alone!

  Esq. Diamond, please be legally advised that you should mollify because your statements are gravely frivolous as matter of law and matter of fact.

• So what you're saying is this, Art?

  In a primary with Daly (D), Kring (R), Pedroza (R), Perez (D), Martinez (D), and already-announced whatizname (R) you think that Daly and Kring finish as the top two in AD-69? Oh, ye of little faith! You think that as a Spanish-surnamed (R) would you take votes away from Perez and Martinez rather than from a hypothetical Kring candidacy?

  OK, then -- assuming that you can't recruit an Anglo Republican to run instead, you can always change your name and run as Art Peterson.

  As for you, Vern: It would take most people 900 words minimum to say what I can say in 5000!

  • Again you are without a clue. I have run for non partisan office twice in Santa Ana and came very close to winning a school board race last time. I have no interest in splitting the Latino vote further.

    You are wasting your time with Perez. He should pull out.

• P.S.: Is Tom Daly in Nguyen's district under the new lines? That race is something I could get behind.

  • How can you fashion yourself a player in the DPOC and still be so clueless? The OCEA won't let Daly or any other Dem challenge Nguyen.

• "There is no bigger windbag that your pal Diamond, who says in 5,000 words what anyone else can say in 500"..... Hmmmm

  Churchill wrote the History of England using 500 different words.

• OK, we're into conspiracy theories now; I'll back away slowly.

  (By the way: OCEA evidently can't stop Daly from challenging Perez!)

• Hey, is there an hour long wait now for approval? Or don't you want people to see how quickly I said, "Yeah, some truth there. But you've still been talking nonsense."

• I'll let him know when I see him next week that Art Pedroza thinks that he should pull out of the race. I'll try not to do so while he is drinking hot coffee while wearing a nice suit, though.

  I'd support Michelle for Supervisor, by the way!

• Let's start laying bets, although the formula would be complicated. I'd like to see Julio win, although I wouldn't mind Michele. I'd be very upset to see Daly, or any Republican, prevail. And since I'm a goofball who confuses wishes with predictions, I'll bet on what I want.

  Obviously your side is much simpler, you just want Michele.

• Why is it ok for the Mayor of Cudahy and a Councilmember from Southgate to endorse in the 69th but you pitch a fit when someone from Brea or HB voices their opinion?

  • An endorsement is one thing - and bear in mind the fact that due to term limits those Council Members might one day be in Sacramento themselves - perhaps they too will be members of the Assembly Latino Caucus - and these endorsements likely reflect Martinez' work in NALEO and the Southern CA Association of Governments - but what Diamond and Nelson are doing is not simply endorsing. No, they are actively meddling in affairs that are quite frankly none of their business. And their meddling may well hand the district to Daly - which will be an affront and a disservice to our voters in the 69th District.

• Speaking of theories:

  It is my tentive opinion that Greg is a "mechanic", and academic, who has no real passion for his cause. He can argue point and verse but lacks human interpersonal skills. I would be stunned to learn he was married and with family.

  He looks to be a cold calculating machine, hired by the union to defend it's new round of canidates. I had NEVER heard of him before October of this year, and know he waves his opinion and (supposed credentials) all over.

  But, thats just my "conspiracy theory". I am sure none of that is true.
