Torrance School Board Member Al Muratsuchi took a majority of the vote in every South Bay City North of PCH. The South Bay has often been known as a socially moderate, fiscally conservative community, so why would the 53% of voters support a Democrat who gave a supermajority to Sacramento to pass any tax, raise any fee, further any burden on the state of California?
Some will charge that Huey was too extreme for the South Bay. The Daily Breeze repeated this sentiment in their editorial, perhaps fearing to favor a losing candidate. The same calculation would explain why the Daily Breeze editorial board stood behind every Democratic state and federal candidate, but then chose to endorse Mitt Romney for President. To save face and staunch their diminishing share in political opinion, they stood by a candidate with losing views and values, and now voters in the South Bay 66th will lose more money to a state apparatus riven with dysfunction and spend-thrift ways.
Muratsuchi was and is and so far seems to remain to the Left for the South Bay. Now he has left for Sacramento, and who knows what is in store for this district or the state for the next two years.
