In reality, the reason for David Ryu’s un-surprising victory over Carolyn Ramsay for the last Los Angeles City Council seat was: * The support of, and in some cases, ringing endorsements from, diehard political bloggers.
That is what caused all the difference in this race made so complex by Council President Herb Wesson’s nefarious reapportionment a few years back that split the Korean community into two Councilmanic districts in order to clip Korean American wings. This was to assure there would be no seat for Korean Americans on the Los Angeles City Council
But Mr. Wesson’s plot just backfired on him.
Without all of us at our computers spreading the word for David for weeks in cyberspace, David would have lost to Carolyn for City Council, as was smugly predicted by the blind mainstream media (MSM)!
If we, the militant political bloggers, were able to turn around from Ramsay to Ryu a bare minimum of 800 voters, then that accounts for his 1,600- vote margin of victory right there.
We actually did a lot better for Ryu vote-wise than that!
In the “upset” aftermath of this election, the L.A. Times, in its slanted news coverage, is pretending that we, the political bloggers who supported David, either don’t exist in the blogosphere or have no electoral clout there!
That is because we are the Los Angeles Times‘s fiercest competitors in cyberspace.
While voters are busy visiting our websites to obtain vital political information and un-orthodox viewpoints that are un-obtainable in their pages, these very same people are not occupying themselves by visiting the LAT Blog.
And after all, time is money…that’s falling out of the growing hole in the L.A. Times’s pocketbook!
We won! But Garcetti, Wesson, Publisher Beutner & Carolyn all lost big-time last Tuesday!
