Reuters/C-Span Texas Poll Has Obama In The Lead
This just in...Reuters/C-Span Texas Poll: Obama 48%, Clinton 42%. Looks to be about tied in Ohio. But momentum in Ohio may swing toward Obama as local politicians feel pressure to go with the flow. A local Cleveland councilmember was on MSNBC saying that he had to switch support from his long-time friend Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama to represent the voice of his district. Hillary is in bigger trouble than a State of California municipal bond.
LAST DAY TO VOTE IN RE-ELECT ANOTNIO (YES/NO) POLL: So far, it 17% vs 82%. (Guess which one has 82%?) Cast your vote in upper right hand of this blog.
LAS VILLAS: Check this blog for all the Las Villas coverage because I have much, much more to report, later today that may provide additional background as to why this Councildummy Ed Reyes is so hell bent on approving an arcade that sells alcohol across the street from three schools and two churches -- even though there is a law specifically banning the sale of alcohol 500 feet from schools and churches. So what gives, Ed? More to come. [500 people viewed the video of Reyes yesterday!]

FROM LA Weekly SEVEN PAGE Website Post on Density Problems: "In every city in this country, the zone on the land establishes the value of the land. In Los Angeles, that's not true.
"The value of the land is not based on what the zone says ... It's based on what [the] developer believes he can change the zone to.
"This is disastrous for the city. Disatorous. Zoning has to mean something in this city."
Goldberg probably wishes she hadn't said that, not necessarily because she got reprimanded by L.A.'s famously vindictive Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, but because Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavksy has repeated her words in public, over and over. Yaroslavsky, who represented the city's affluent Westside District 5 as a councilman until 1994, has been staging a one-man campaign to slow City Hall's feverish promotion of density — a quiet war on the large swaths of suburbia and few hunks of countryside remaining inside the city limits.
