I continue to be amazed by the number of people who tell me they don't see a huge difference between Mark Kleinschmidt and Matt Czajkowski. These folks usually describe themselves as "progressive"
(as do I, for the record) but they say they're voting for Matt based
on some single issue. Let me tell you, folks, I believe there is a
huge difference between these two mayoral candidates, and I think
anyone who is concerned with social, racial, or economic justice will find
themselves disappointed in a Czajkowski mayoralty.
In attempt to restore sanity to the endorsements thread, I'm taking my response to the comments about comments over here.
Cam's comment was posted around 7pm and the first time I saw it was around
11am the next day, at which point I took it down and responded to Fred's comment. I am just not as obsessive about reading the site as some folks are, and that's OK with me. I don't plan to do much more responding to him because I just don't have the time and it doesn't seem productive in any way.
I still don't understand why some people who claim to have such problems with this web site spend so much time here. For example, as of this moment Fred has posted 305 comments on OP in the past year, more than any other user of the site.
I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast the endorsement lists of both leading Mayoral candidates.
It's about that time, y'all. LIke it or not, the election is a few days away. It's time for our annual contest to see who is the biggest political nerd in Orange County. Click here to take the 2009 Pundit of the Year survey.
Submissions are open until 7:30 pm on Tuesday. Results will be announced by Thursday night. The grand prize - in addition to the obvious fame and adulation - will be a free OP t-shirt or hat in the size and color of your choosing.
Anyone who predicts the winners correctly will be announced here
(unless requested otherwise) and whoever comes closest to predicting
the ORDER of the winners will be named the Pundit of the Year.
