I received an email tip this morning from a reader who said that someone had turned in recall paperwork, at the City Clerk’s office – and they were going after Mayor Miguel Pulido.  The pajarito did not say who was behind this so I texted Mayor Pulido.

His response said it all – “It’s just Rocco.” LOL!  Steve Rocco – the perennial paranoid candidate who got lucky a few years ago and actually got elected to the Orange Unified School Board, when Republicans voted for him instead of voting for his Latino opponent.

Rocco has run against Pulido in past mayoral elections, but has not fared well.  So this time it looks like he will try a recall.  I truly doubt he will get many signatures but the irony of this is that Rocco may have taken the wind out of the sails of the lame Santa Ana City Council.  If David Benavides and company were thinking of recalling Pulido, well that ship has sailed on them now!

Go ahead Rocco.  Give it your best shot.  This will be quite an epic fail.

  • Are you suggesting that Rocco is another Pulido Operative? They both know how to siphon off the Republican vote.

  • "Rocco may have taken the wind out of the sails of the lame Santa Ana City Council"....... Hmmmmmm

    If the council wanted recall Pulido, Rocco would be a perfect Trojan Horse carrier for it!

    I have once filed the recall petition against the OC Judge Brickner and it was a challenging effort.

    There must be more to it and soon we will find out.

    There was lot of scream to recall Martinez and nothing.

    • I should add that it would be interesting to get a copy of the petition from the OC Registrar to see reason for the recall and if Pulido will respond within the required time limit.

      I think that the editors of the blogging media should do that.
