VILLARAIGOSA OUT OF SENATE RACE (CA)
Breitbart ^ | February 24, 2015 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 02/25/2015 12:48:40 PM PST by C19fan

Former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has decided not to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by liberal Democrat Barbara Boxer after 2016. With strong support among Latino voters in California, Villaraigosa was seen as a major potential threat to Attorney General Kamala Harris (D), who was the first to declare for the seat

With Villaraigosa out of the running, the path is cleared for Harris–unless Condoleezza Rice or another household name enters the Senate fray.

Wow! Looks like the Democratic party bosses in CA made an offer Tony Villar could not refuse. Oh well I guess there will be no John and Ken bits about how inarticulate Tony is. In the Democratic party black still trumps brown.

John and Ken still give him his much deserved grief? I miss John and Ken up here in Idaho.

I had thought Michelle Obama was going to take this seat.

Maye she is not going to pull a Hillary. Or maybe she is going to wait for Feinstein’s seat.

I see Carly Fiorina doing some sort of pantomime like she is running for President.

She should run for Boxer’s seat if she wants to run in an election where she has a small chance of winning.

I would say the seat is a Democratic hold.

The GOP has zero chance of winning in 2016.

California is a prohibitive Hillary lock.

I have not listened in awhile. I would download their podcasts. The last time I heard them having fun was when Tony Villar was Chairman of the Democratic Convention in 2012.

Do you have a link to their podcast by chance? Is it via Itunes or via KFI site? I used to have the link I don’t have it and have searched KfI.

I thought there was a poll that should Condoleeza Rice could win this race in California.

Nah, I bet Tony V. Figured out he couldn’t get as many freebies because of the higher scrutiny of a Senator, unless of course your a woman like Feinstein, Boxer, Sanchez, etc.

For the time being Blacks and Hispanics are coexisting in California, but the surging numbers of Mexicans and Central Americans coming into the state will make it hard for the state’s Dems to ignore their political power. In other words, sooner rather than later California’s Black Democrats are going to be pushed to the side by the Hispanics, and let’s see how Blacks will react to their political power nullified.

Condi is a long shot even if she wants the job.
She is a good pick for CA but the RATS are now in full control of CA and nothing will prevent them from staying in power.

Thank heavens.

Of course, he’s made a mess of his private life anyway.

Do they have the “jungle primary” for the US Senate seat?
If so, it’s possible the November election could be between two Democrats. That’s how Sandy Fluke made it to the November election.
