Editor:

I hope there are not too many candidates for the City Council this year who are not serious. That would dilute the hoped for anti-O'Connor vote. In election after election this happens. It absolutely damages good candidates and gets dreadful incumbents (Have I mentioned O'Connor yet?) re-elected. We need to be smarter this time. Think! Please, especially you Santa Monicans for Renters' Rights re-retreads. You've had your day.
