The Oceanside Results

From my Sunday San Diego column at the FlashReport

Last Tuesday’s failed recall election against Oceanside Councilman Jerry Kern was a clear repudiation of an attempt by labor to wrest control of the city council in one of San Diego County’s largest municipalities.

Fellow SD FlashReport blogger Duane Dichiara wrote about the results on Wednesday, in A Crushing Defeat for Labor in Bellweather Oceanside Election.  Here too are several SD Rostra posts on the election.

Early Oceanside Recall Results!

Tuesday, December 8, 2009
posted by Jerome Stocks

NO

11144

63.17%

YES

6498

36.83%

The question is “shall Jerome Kern be Recalled?”  And the early results show an answer of “NO”. These results are mostly absentee results, but it would be staggering for the margin of nearly 2 – 1 to be overcome with precinct results. Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood put himself very publicly out in front of this in support of the recall and in support of organized labor. The repercussions of this attempted recall having failed will be interesting to watch.

OCEANSIDE: Big money flowing in on both sides of recall campaign

Kern gets major donations from businesses; unions pour more cash into fighting him

Big bucks are flowing almost daily to underwrite campaigns for and against the recall of Oceanside City Councilman Jerry Kern with less than a week to go before the Dec. 8 election.

Fighting for his political survival, Kern in the last month raised more than $71,000, including a $20,000 contribution Nov. 24 from the North County Association of Realtors through the California Real Estate Political Action Committee in Los Angeles, according to reports filed with the city clerk this week.

Too Quiet on the O’Side Front

None of our in-the-know bloggers are going to take even a short, one paragraph stab at how the Rocky Chavez vacancy in Oceanside will impact the city?  How about what it means — if anything — to the union led recall effort of Councilman Jerry Kern?  Can Kern and his supporters successfully turn this into a call for stability, just when the city needs it most? 

No one?

Ok, how about our readers?  Comment away.

In the meantime, Jack Feller, if you’re reading, how about joining the blogpen?
