If the number of video views on www.desertdispatch.com decided who wins the November election, Joe Gomez would be mayor and Willie Hailey and Tim Saenz would fill the two open slots on the City Council.
Following appearences at a Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast, videos of all the City Council candidates and two of the candidates for mayor went live on www.desertdispatch.com. I monitored who was getting the most views throughout the week and will now share the results of my completely unofficial and totally amateur poll with you.
