[Pictured: L.A. City Council CD2 Candidate David Saltsburg (Zuma Dogg)]Alright, something is up, because all of the sudden a lot of people seem to be pushing for Zuma Dogg on the Mayor Sam blog in the comment section. Perhaps it was the ZD/Tamar Galatzan Fence Straddlers, who after this weekend's LAUSD flier controversy surrounding Galatzan's campaign tactics, I think a bunch of people may have made their decision this weekend. And it looks like a bunch of people are piling on with PRO-ZUMA DOGG spin for the September 22nd L.A. City Council election. Here are some highlights from the most recent comments from Mayor Sam readers. (An inside crowd, indeed. And let me thank some of my previous foes who are now spinning for the Dogg side. YOU HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HUMANITY!)

He may have a different way of doing things but he does know what he is doing and stands up to the city council. He does make a difference.- Anonymous said...
Our neighborhood group of concerned CD-2 citizens met today. We analyzed the candidates, their positions and their track records. We have decided to endorse David Saltsman and intend to put the full weight of our organization behind him. Say what you want about him but he has a better City Council attendance record than most of the current sitting council people.
This district always gets the short shrift as our elected council representatives always leave us when something better comes along, i.e. Joel Wachs and Wendy Greuel.
Candidates Tamar Galatzan and Paul Kerkorian have already demonstrated that they will leave their duly elected positions when something better comes along. They're really nothing more than political opportunists. Galatzan wants to raise your taxes on her way out of LAUSD. Kerkorian won't even take a position on releasing 27,000 criminals from the prisons. If either of them were to get this seat, you can count on them taking off when the Mayor's seat opens up or when Wendy Greuel abandons her seat to run for Mayor.
Candidate Chris Essel is really not prepared for this position and was only put up for this race so she could do the bidding of the Mayor and all the special interests that are funding her campaign.
You all may look at these three candidates' fundraising reports and be impressed, however we look at them as bought and paid for by all the corporate and special interest money that's purchased these candidates.
You won't have to worry about any of that with David Saltsburg (Zuma Dogg) because he will not be indebted to these corporate interests.
It's time we elect an outsider to go into City Hall who will speak for the people, and not their own selfish ambitions.
Please join us as this district makes history by electing an outsider to a City Council seat, and we all begin to turn this city around.

WHO is your candidate anyway, if Shallman is handling Essel and you also hate Krekorian? Who do you think will roll over for Cooley, Nuch, Zine and the PPL? Besides Zuma who keeps telling everyone how eager he is to play on their team, even if they think he's not "classy enough to associate with in public." Zuma says he wants to join Zine in doing whatever Trutanich tells them. Zine-Zuma.
You've got no one but Zuma Dogg, have you?

People should never under estimate a dogg as Zuma Dogg apppears to be the best candidate for CD 2.

Zuma Dogg should be the councilperson. If not him, then the only other person is Krekorian. Neither
Neither Christine nor Tamar who are considered to be the "big three" will do a damn thing for the district.
Zuma will do the most good for the community (go ahead and laugh you Zuma haters out there. both of you.) and either of those two women will do the most damage.

I must say, it thrills me to see all of these pro-Zuma comments.
Every time someone types anti-Zuma comments in all caps, I just know for a fact that Zuma is the right person for this job.
It's not about campaign money. It's not about who the other council people will get along with. It's about who will do the right thing for CD 2 and like the person who says that instinctively, Zuma knows what needs to be done, is right.

Zuma is a warrior for CD 2. I'm going to use that!
Truer words were never spoken.

I agree, 6:33. Zuma is focused, BEYOND well-informed, determined to expose corruption,AND he IS accessible and listens to the people! He's NOT some wheeler-dealer w/ a huge corporation to run and ugly condos to build, he has no pseudo-"wholesome" nuclear family to pose with on some slick mailer. I really admire Zuma Dogg and will support him in current and future endeavors. Now...the past couple of days I've been barraged w/ ridiculous propaganda from Essel. Look at phony-ass smile! Doesn't she look exactly like The Joker?
