WeissBfast.gifHow did the candidates spend election day?

City Attorney candidate Jack Weiss had his good-luck breakfast at Art's Delicatessan in Studio City. Weiss has had breakfast there the morning of every election day since he has been running for public office, and every time, he has won.

"On election day you're just focused and you're hopeful," Weiss said.

Weiss said he hoped people, especially students, showed up to vote. As for his opponents, Weiss considers their platforms divisive, extreme and ultimately ineffective.

"This is a progressive and forward-looking city, and when people bring the anger, they lose most people in L.A." Weiss said.

ArtDeliSign.gifArt's is a popular spot for local politicians. City Controller candidate Wendy Gruell, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Weiss are frequent patrons.

Roberta Mitteldorf, manager of the deli and Art's daughter, said she supported Weiss and other candidates who frequent the restaurant because they have been heavily involved with the community and she feels they are good at their jobs.

Her father Art, founder of the restaurant, has always been involved in local politics. As a result, the restaurant is a place where local politicians occasionally hang out.

The staff and some patrons tend to be part of the voting population in Los Angeles as well.

"It's a great city and the more people who participate, the more hopeful I am," Weiss said.
