In one last look at Santa Barbara's municipal election, this week's Newsmakers TV panel sees conflicts ahead between mayor-elect Randy Rowse and the liberal City Council, forecasts great things for James Joyce and mulls the Return on Investment for Barrett Reed's quarter-of-a-million in campaign cash.
Ryan P. Cruz, Josh Molina and Nick Welsh join the genial host for the most mansplaining episode ever, performing the final, final, final post-mortem on the stark failure of Mayor Cathy Murillo's bid for a second term, Kristen Sneddon's on-again-off-again relationship with the Democratic Party and the best laid plans of builder Ed St. George and real estate magnate Jim Knell.
Also: What in hell was Darcel thinking by committing to email the worst campaign spin in the history of American politics?
Plus: Good news on the pandemic vaccine front, Ryan wrap-ups the election night parties, Josh goes bullish on Meagan Harmon's future and Nick does his best to avoid discussing his lost lunch bet on Cathy.
If it's Friday, it's Newsmakers TV - all here, right now.
