>>I made my "lesser of evils" vote for HERTZBERG.

He's no better than Villaraigosa. See:

It looks like it will be Hahn vs Villaraigosa, Round II.

I am aware of no precedent of an incumbent polling so poorly in a primary and then going on to win the runoff...

In 1992, when Ira Reiner found himself in a similar predicament, he decided to drop out of the race.

Hertzberg is inching (by fractions) closer to Hahn. Depending on which precincts haven't reported yet (29%), he might still make it. I certainly hope not.

You were right the first time when you said "Vote for Hahn".

[ambrose]

It looks like all of the pollsters have some egg on their face (again).

I wonder how Hahn can cobble a majority in the runoff. He needs solid black support, or he's done. It will be interesting to see how Parks plays this...

[calcowgirl]

>>I wonder how Hahn can cobble a majority in the runoff.

Well, if they finished investigating all the allegations of corruption and he was cleared, it couldn't hurt, LOL.

Time will tell!

Yikes. 29,000 more votes counted in this bulletin, of which Hahn only got 19% (while Hertzberg got 25%). With only 3% left to count, it looks like Hahn will squeak through, regardless.

Ah hell, I'm just gonna have to move.

[So Cal Rocket]

Close to 4,000,000 people live in the city of Los Angeles... and less than 10% of them bothered to show up at the polls.

[Torie]

Yep Hahn is toast unless something very surprising happens. Watch for Parks and Hertzberg to endorse V.
