...while we do not know if for certain Cassandra Hernandez will run for mayor, it is almost certain that someone else is...
….Oscar Leeser.
You gotta hand it to him.
He left the Mayor's office right before he had to raise taxes, and now wants to come back!
"When I was Mayor I never raised your taxes!"
It makes you wonder.
"Max, you're being an asshole the Leeser was sick."
Yea.
I'm not buying it. Look at John McCain, Dick Cheney, or in your own backyard Dolores Briones....all people with serious health issues, but none of them quit their jobs. Public office makes people do crazy shit like that.
Leeser left to save Leeser's ass.
And most voters - Westsiders - will see right through Leeser.
Which may explain why he is hanging with Eddie Holguin and Lily Limon.
He is hoping that they can deliver votes - mainly the party faithful - who won't see what Leeser is up to.
It won't be vote for "Cut and Run" Oscar, it will be vote good Democrat Oscar over Tax-raising Republican Gringo.
And it might just work.
If we are being honest, Margo is not exactly the most friendly guy in the room. If you needed to come-up with an asshole Republican to run against, Margo would fit the bill.
Meanwhile, Leeser wants to get you comfortable with mini-bottled water and talk about the weather while his finance guys hit-up banks to sell you an new car with 100,000 warranty which you won't use because you will go back in couple years and trade-in, upside down, because Leeser sent some direct-mail piece to you about wanting to get you an even better deal on a newer car.
