The voters of Encinitas spoke loud and clear.
Jerome Stocks a day later. NCT (UT?) "[ . . .] he saw the voting results as indication that voters felt his 12 years in office were long enough, commenting that “it’s out with the old and in with the new.”
You may tell yourself this. We have a different version with video clips.
But it gets better. The voters selected Dave Roberts over Jerome's candidate Steve Danon for San Diego County Supervisor. And, heart be still, US Representative Brian Bilbray is now out. It is all one crony club as Jerome is on Danon's campaign staff, Dannon is chief of staff for Bilbray and Christy Guerin, former Mayor of Encinitas and BFF to Jerome works for Bilbray. This means she too is out of a job. Oh and she is married to someone (Google for details, I'm still on vacation) in San Diego law enforcement. You know, these are the public union people who endorsed Stocks, Muir and Forrester. Who . . . what?
It's a club and we the majority of voters in Encinitas are not in it.
Today this makes me really proud.
It's not over by any means as Gaspar the former trainee (still meeting with the whiskered grifter for talking points) and the Muir duo with pilfered populist talking points are still with us. It is simply a new version. There will be civility and lots of polite smiles.
We simply have to sharpen our perception, our vigilance. But, boy howdy, does it feel good to know that a giant breath of fresh air just blew in from our electoral politics in spite of the massive waste of wealth. Schadenfreude.
P.S. Counting of provisional ballots (mail-in ballots turned into polling places on election day) is still going on and it looks like Tony's numbers are growing and Stocks percentage is falling. Delightful.
