Gov. Brown yesterday announced the autumn dates for special elections to replace departing legislators – but don’t look for the new or old faces to cause even a hiccup.
Everybody knows everyone else who is involved.
Do you want to dance the minuet?
Not even their mothers can discern a philosophical distinction between or among them.
Every cynic knows electoral suspense left town years ago.
See the chairs make pretty music.
Last week, state Sen. Curren Price (D-Culver City) departed the state Legislature for the final time, preparatory to being sworn in a week from Saturday as the new Los Angeles City Councilman, representing the 9th District, South Los Angeles.
State Assemblymember Holly Mitchell (D-Culver City) is favored from here to Mars to clinch Mr. Price’s seat in the Sept. 17 primary, obviating the need for a runoff.

The younger Mr. Ridley-Thomas is strongly favored to succeed Ms. Mitchell – just as soon as her ept. 17 victory becomes official.
