Michele has some heavy hitters behind her. She has been talking about this run for mayor for at least 3 years now while cultivating relationships with some VERY deep pockets. Like her or not, she may not be a true factor in the upcoming election, but she will have the entire hispanic community behind her and she is already capable of raising $.
Very strategic indeed by putting up some signs and gaining some name recognition now.

Dan,
You make some very interesting points regarding Michele run for Mayor. In part, I agree Michele is relatively raw to the wolrd of politics, but consider, this is really a free ride for Michele. She only has to gain from this election as she makes attempts to get more name ID.
It may be she does not defeat the mayor, but now her name will resound, should she decide to run again for Mayor in the near future.
There are strong rumors, the Mayor will not be seeking reelection soon, this may be an good chance for Michele to run again with now more tenure under her belt. I believe this is a smart calculated move for her.

Regarding Thomas Gordon, who I hold very dearly, I simply do not think he will be a viable candidate until he raises the money. Like, Art Pedroza, and other candidates, those have not raised money do not show well in the election. It is just simple politics. I think in order for Thomas to be a viable candidate, he is going to have to search for the dough, otherwise, he hurts any other candidates chance, as he will still receive votes from residents who feel disenfranchised from our current mayor, not not enough to take over the top.

I suggest Thomas and Michele get together and choose one candidate to run. This may be there only chance!

“your malicious online behavior”…?

Are you referring to Art Pedroza or Stanley Fiala?… I got lost Chmielewski.

George Carlin was arrested, so was Niccolò Machiavelli and virtually everyone who had any influence on the society,…. silenced by the opposition. So your arrests are still coming up once your, mostly socialistic plagiarized, drivel starts threatening the ruling class….. I do not believe that you can reach such influence.

No more beating!…. Hmmm?

You are amazing man(?) Nelson. You are trying to portray yourself as the supper intellectual of the southland yet you resort to such cheap pravda… I would expect such behavior from stupid blonde or fatso… but you?

In 2004, about two month before the election, I have voluntarily disclosed this incident to the OC Register. In spite of it, I have received 10,000 votes 20% against Mayor Pulido. So it is clear that my constituency does not share your socialistic outlook on the case.

Although there is pravda in izvestia there is no izvestia in pravda.

However, your repetitive behavior my signal certain level of a retardation. So go back to your piano and practice Antonín Dvořák 9th symphony in both E flat and E minor.

Stanley –
I’m already married. But thanks for the inquiry.

Not allowing you to respond has more to do with your malicious online behavior than anything you say.

“Ah but Fiala does live on your site; try accessing your blog from a Blackberry or smart phone and you get a George Carlin quote; no juice. I believe that’s Fiala’s doing.”

Attn, Chmielewski and Nelson,

When George Carlin died, you both cried that we have lost real hero just to show your phony intellectualism. Yet you both are such moron mongoloids that you do not even begin to understand concept of a profanity and satire. Therefore, you are both hit and run intellectual midgets who will attack a person in your blogs and than will not allow him to respond.
Real Gentlemen?… Huh?…. But now you can legally marry each other.

Print it or not but that is “pravda”!…
Your ban only reassures me that I am cutting close to the bone.

More power to her; if she can raise money and build a platform of issues to run on, then fine. All I know is she hasn’t communicated anything beyond she’s running for mayor.

Dan-
I remember a woman who ran for Anaheim City Council and came in 7th out of 11 candidates. Folks like you poo-pooed her lack of experience and seasoning. They said it just wasn’t her turn. I’m glad she didn’t wait for their permission before winning a seat in Congress.
And she had this savvy younger sister who had never been elected to anything. She defeated two longtime elected officials in a tough Democratic primary who thought that they didn’t have to work as hard because voters owed them something.
Naysayers will always claim it’s not your time. Voters recognize hard work. And nobody is going to hand you power, you just have to take it.
So, if Michele is willing to work hard and risk taking on the corrupt Pulido machine, then I say go for it!

Ah but Fiala does live on your site; try accessing your blog from a Blackberry or smart phone and you get a George Carlin quote; no juice. I believe that’s Fiala’s doing.
