Slog - Comments on Pity Party http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/pity_party Mr. Villa's in Lake City is the site of Gerry Pollet's primary night party. Pollet is running for a state house seat in the 46th district against Scott White. This race has been the source of much drama over the last few weeks. There are 40 or 50 people inside the tiny restaurant, and Pollet was not optimistic about his chances when he spoke to the SECB.
