Hi WwkVoter:

That's an interesting question, whether he's some kind of plant. I doubt it, and here's why:

Who really supports the guy, even within his own party? If you look at his campaign finance reports, you see a couple of small contributions from city council candidates, along with donations he's made to their campaigns, making it essentially a wash. Add to that the fact that while he claims to have influenced the city council's budget decisions, none of them mentioned him as a factor, and that none of them showed up for his campaign announcement on Dec. 5. [Multiple-time loser Jack Kirby did; what does that tell you about his support from the party?]

No, I think Democratic party leaders understand what just about everyone else in the city knows: As long as Avedisian is the mayor, he won't lose an election. But they'll gladly use the fake "mayor" to get a name -- any name -- on the ballot as a formality, and let him waste his money in another losing effort.

That's actually the smart move, on their part. Why would any of them really want to be seen associating with him? Just look at his behavior on this page -- he's been told multiple times in the past that the two types of charter are similar, yet he attacked you for repeating something I wrote, and then made another series of false statements.

And why would that be, do you think? Because I have proven him wrong with facts time and time again, and all he has left is complaining that I use a screen name. [Funny, isn't it, that he doesn't say anything about yours?]

I wouldn't want to be seen with someone who so willingly spreads falsehoods and so strenuously defends their right to keep lying to people, either. Not to mention, he uses this website as his only forum; I wouldn't want to be associated with someone who can't properly maintain a website or Facebook page, either.

So, "plant" is maybe the wrong word. He's being used as a distraction from the fact that his party has no better candidate to run against a popular and unbeatable incumbent. "Useful idiot" is probably the more accurate description.
