LA Voter Guide for March 5, 2013

That's right, LA People -- it's time to vote again, and we here at Objectable Content have done the necessary research for you and will now tell you whom to vote for.

I just want to point out that there are a lot of people in LA County, and a lot of business... according to this website, if LA County were a country, it'd be more important than Sweden, and slightly less important than Saudi Arabia.

So given how scrutinized the recent national presidential election was, I'm a little surprised that (a) nobody seems to know hardly anything about any of the candidates, and (b) most people probably don't know or even care that we're about to elect a new mayor.

That's LA for you!
