I think she also had pressure from below, powerful local leaders ( names most of us wouldn't recognize ) who got her elected and were calling in their markers. A good man or woman would have told them all where to go.

I'm not going to say I understand LA politics that much, but I do know a good ole boy aristocracy is still very well entranced there. Now someone needs to ask Sheriff Lee of Jefferson Parish why he blocked I-10 East with barricades so none of the riffraff could get into his Parish.
