Waiting for the Macacalypse

Aaron Proctor, our eyeliner-loving mayoral hopeful, has more than a dozen YouTube clips. Most relate to his quixotic mayoral campaign. In one he quips about the "mean streets of Pasadena" while smoking a cigarette.

WIth $7 and change in his war chest, 25-year-old Proctor arguably has the biggest presence online between the YouTube clips, a campaign blog and MySpace.com profile. The seven bucks came via a do-it-yourself merchandiser he's using to sell "Team Proctor" T-shirts. And a thong with his picture on it.

Mayor Bill Bogaard only appears to have his official city page. Unfortunately for Proctor, the Internet will probably be the only arena in which he trounces Bogaard.

Months before Hillary Clinton would launch her presidential campaign online, District 4 Councilman Steve Haderlein was the first Pasadena politician to take the YouTube plunge. Ever the literalist, Haderlein tries to shed some starch in ""announcement version 2" by chatting about his record from the arm of a sofa. The effect is far from 'casual.'

Super-happy-bonus video for Moz fans who missed his sold out shows at the Civic Auditorium, there's 10 minutes of shakey-cam video.
