I hope those groups fighting for the middle class considering challenging the lines drawn by these self serving politicians and create more challlenging districts. Yes, the county is changing. Obama was really close to beting Mccain here so we know were those more progressives voters reside in and need to have a strong push to have campetitive elections. This is a Republican county and the principles they push at the state level (The Proposition in regards to redistricting and creating real elections) only plays itself in one district(If That) Moreover, I hope to see community groups being underserved in the first district challenge the 1st supervisorial seat map and request this follow the law. While every other district (Assembly, Senate and Congressional) in the central county follow a north to south direction the 1st Supervisorial follows a east to west direction. This is to intentional dilute the Hispanic vote and I'm encouraged that an Obama's election will help enforce federal lawas to protect protected classes.

So I guess everyone wants a promotion in a few years. Andrew Do will probably get his. And Dana Rohrabacher gets to keep his seat, too. How swell for them. Van Tran is a lot of things but he's not stupid. He'll always take political expediency over integrity (a lesson I should probably learn). Do you think he'd give a damn about Janet if she lost her Supes seat? What happens when more of his people suffer defeats? Who will he cling to next? SMS Jannies and Trannies together again?

I hope they continue to seek public office. I agree, Robin Marcario and Linda Zamora are two of the new contenders that will make good public servants when they eventually get elected.

How much do you think the demonstrations at the newspaper offices with charges of 'communist' or 'communist sympathizer' leveled anytime there is a dispute in that community. I know the stranglehold the republicans have had on this community is weakening and that lots of young people are identifying with the democrats, registering democrat and hopefully voting for the best candidate and not for the most powerful. If they do the power of the Trannies and Jannies is definitely on its way out. Interesting analysis Art.
