Election? What election? Unfortunately a lot of folks are so burned out by the seemingly never-ending commercials, flyers, phone calls, etc. that it will be a relief when it’s over and the city, county and country can get down to business. (Even the Culver City Democratic Club hosted a “Thank Goodness It’s the Last Debate” party in October.) Blessings to those who have suffered the wrath of Hurricane Sandy – they’re the ones who most need our attention.
