My Election Endorsements [Los Angeles / San Gabriel Valley Area]
OK, it's been a long time since I posted, but I just finished writing up my voting homework, so I'm doing my traditional thing and posting it here. Gawwwwwd, I miss those lovely detailed LA Weekly Endorsements and their pinchy-nose guy!!! Most sites don't 'splain their endorsements any more, 'cept for the LA Times. *sigh*
Now I can get a little sleep before work tomorrow....
