		<description>Petz2: Thanks for your “vote”. If I were running for anything, that would make three counting myself...

I have many more detractors than supporters. Perhaps because I say aloud what I really believe instead of worrying who agrees with me or not or whom might endorse me. I am not sure if I fit any classification. I always thought of myself as a moderate but it really depends on the issue. Although registered as a Democrat, I find myself disagreeing with the politicos of both parties on many issues but primarily with the Democrats these days. I may have to change to “decline to state” for future elections.</description>

		<description>Tim, I still don&#039;t understand why you cannot be honest.  The laziness of these incumbents steps perfectly in hand with your lazy assurances of the outcome of this election.

Jboyyyyy, I did not mean to add Katz to the pile of Pride and Ferry.  I merely reiterated that Timothy&#039;s loud vote had always gone to these candidates.

The reasoning IIRC, was that Katz had no tattoos, Ferry pulled a nifty prank some years ago, and Pride is a sassy reality TV star.

Honestly, I don&#039;t understand why anyone listens to Tim and his blathering.  Perhaps everyone should vote for anyone Tim Meyers is against.</description>

		<description>There was some unusual behavior Katz exhibited earlier in this campaign began which had me questioning what&#039;s going on with him in ways I would not have even thought to do. His speech at the Canyon Country forum sounded more like a college writing assignment. I have yet to hear anything particularly novel in his ideas for SC.</description>

		<description>Sarah Proof,
To add Katz into the pile with Pride and Ferry is grossly unfair. He seems to be a very serious candidate with some very good ideas for Santa Clarita. He is also running an impressive campaign at the local colleges. I fear that this Pride incident will hurt him more than we can imagine, but that doesn&#039;t mean that he wasn&#039;t a real candidate.</description>
