San Diego is BROKEn, and a Biker May Be Able to Fix It
Hat tip to my friend Todd for sending this to us.
There is a real problem in San Diego, where I used to live: It's on the verge of bankruptcy, and the city's credit rating has been reduced to junk bond status. Add to that a mayoral race that went completely sideways because of one city councilperson, Donna Frye. Frye entered the race for mayor at the last minute, which created a legal battle over which document that governs elections has precedence over the other. One clearly states that there is to be a primary in which as many people who want to run may do so. From that primary the two candidates with the most votes run against each other in the main election so there is a majority, over 50%. Frye did not run in the primary, but she entered the race about a month before the main election. Nobody did anything about it, and she ended-up with the most votes. It was not a majority; it was roughly broken into thirds, with Frye getting one or two percent more than the other two. Eventually, it was decided in court that incumbent Dick Murphy would retain the mayor's seat. He is now stepping down next month, and there will be another election.
Donna Frye is the stereotypical California moonbat. Look-up California moonbat in a dictionary and her picture is right there. Ultra-leftist, tree-hugging, tofu-eating...you get the idea. She wants the Mt. Soledad Memorial Cross removed from the site where it has stood since 1949. She's a real turd, and she's running again.
"New York" Myke Shelby is the owner of San Diego Harley Davidson, a Vietnam vet, and he's a strong conservative who has announced his candidacy for the mayor's race.
I hope he wins.

It seems as if that entire state has gone to hell in a hand basket.
Donna Frye and Dick Murphy should share the cost of paying for the election since both of them screwed it up.
"If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, there would be a run-off election."
With fifteen candidates no one will get 50%. The out of control cost and lack of stable leadership will drag on.
...and..tyler... if only they would get in a basket and go to hell...and leave the rest of us alone. The real problem with Cali-fornia is all the imported trash from the other lower 47 states.
Cali-natives Rule!!!
From a purely electorial process....if she had declared herself as a "write in candidate" and garnered the same amount of votes, what would the consequences have been??
DR., your comment snuck in while I was writitng mine!
In my native state (CA) let's not forget the "foriegners", legal or otherwise.................
HOME is where I hang my hat-------
Well DR, how do you explain San Francisco?
San Fran will die out in a few generations from too much fudge packin & taco lickin so who gives a shit.
As far as I care they can just put a fence up and call themselves San Fran, San Fran.
True.
.....hope the move is going well!
Guy, the fact is that her write-in candidacy is not valid. She had that chance during the primary. It was supposedly set-up to have a run-off between the 2 top vote-getters from the primary in order to have a clear, simple majority vote for mayor. What Donna Frye did was just sneaky and under-handed and served no purpose other than to garner some self-aggrandizement.
Last night I spent an hour or so talking with Jerry Sanders and found him to be a solid individual with a clear vision for the future of San Diego. I am impressed, wrote his campaign a check and will vote for him.
Hi,
I visited your site today.
I am a huge motorcycle fan myself. And I am thinking about starting my own motorcycle kit blog.
Wishing you the best.
