Ed Jews mothers last name was Chan before she was married but I am not clear on first name. The families occupation is running that flowershop. Also wasn't 10,000 USD found at Jew's Burlingame home when raided by the FBI. I also saw in several papers that Jew was taped counting the 40K in bills given by the FBI and Quickly. Please confirm and add information if true. -- Cs california 09:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I wonder: is using a source like that okay for basic info despite it being from no third party? If not, it should probably be replaced. Hekerui ( talk) 23:53, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
So, here's how I see it
Ed got 26% of the 1st place ballots. I.e. 26% of the electorate wanted him to win over everyone else. He didn't really get 52% of any conscious electorate.
He did WIN but that 52% is a process number. It could have been 51%, 53%, 55%, etc based on technicalities like how many votes he had after the 3rd round, and how many votes the 4th place candidate had. The 26% number is actually far more important as it reflects voter preference.
Maybe there's a way to include them both?

This article is an abominable mess, yet every time a significant attempt is made to improve or clean it up, the edits get reverted. I’m not sure why certain people are so intent on keeping this article in such terrible shape. The specific issues needing improvement are as follows:
(1) This article is littered with a ton of irrelevant information. How is it relevant that Jew was in a motorcycle accident as a child, or has a brother named David? These extraneous details do not serve the article at all, they simply bog it down.
(2) The ‘personal life’ section is a grammatical mess. It’s not even clear when it’s referring to Jew or to his grandfather. Meaningless sentences such as “he was raised by his parents” boggle the mind.
(3) There is absolutely no reason to summarize every single blow-by-blow of Jew’s investigation and trial, i.e. what his attorney said each day, the fact that he switched attorneys, every document produced by each side, etc. It is numbing and obfuscating to read. As an attorney myself, I would NEVER write a brief this way. It is tedious, shoddy writing. Only the main points of the investigation and trial should be covered.
(4) The bloated introduction MUST be pared down. The argument that “lead section is supposed to summarize the whole article” is nonsense; no other Wikipedia article summarizes itself like this. The introduction should NOT contain where he went to college, or detail his entire political rise. All that information that belongs in the main article.
It’s frustrating that a conversation needs to happen in order to make these changes. Please STOP reverting every good faith effort to clean up this article. This is easily one of the worst politician articles on Wikipedia, and the reversions are keeping it that way. 209.150.70.134 ( talk) 21:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Unless we cite a ref that says he is commonly and mistakenly thought of as jewish, this is completely inappropriate. i think it may have been added as vandalism. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 07:02, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
