Rose Espinosa. Plant, Dreams, Grow, Joy

I have received several mailers from La Habra’s Rosie Espinosa who is trying, again. for the job of County Supervisor for our 4th District.

They’ve all been pretty amateur, but the one I got today was also really sort of pathetic. Espinosa has a granddaughter, apparently, and this cute little girl is the star of the pathos driven card.

I don’t know why anybody thought grandmothering was A) notable at all; or, B) something that would leader a voter to believe in her competence. Grandparents in general are known to be over indulgent, lenient, and weak minded when it comes to their grandkids.

Maybe it’s a grab for the older female vote? I can’t fathom it. To me it suggests electing someone who is just old, for Rose Espinosa must be pushing 70, and in the past 20 years County voters are moving away from the gerontocracy approach to County Supervisors.

Curiously, Espinosa’s campaign address – 1 W. Manchester Blvd. Inglewood – is the same as Inglewood’s City Hall. Now that’s just peculiar and could use an explanation.

Anyhow, Rose is a dedicated liberal Democrat, I guess, and despite her previous electoral failure maybe this time she can draw some votes from the loathsome operator Connor Traut, a student of the corrupt Jordan Brandman, a devotee of carpetbagging, and seemingly never having had to work for much of anything.
