Things not to say in public
This evening, Los Angeles City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa spoke at a meeting of the California League of Conservation Voters. One member of the audience asked him if he planned on running for Mayor. He mentioned the recent "push poll" on the race, noting that Mayor Hahn (like Kerry) was everybody's second choice...then he continued saying that running against an incumbent was difficult, unless it was an unpopular incumbent. Then he said this gem to applause:
"After all, let's face it. Is anyone excited about electing John Kerry or do you really want to defeat George Bush?"
That's a real vote of confidence from John Kerry's Campaign Co-Chairman. Reporters from the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post were acknowledged for their attendance...so I totally expect them to be reporting this.

I wasn't at the meeting, and I can't verify this is what he said. However, as stated above, maybe the LAT or the WaPo will have what he said in their reports...
In addition to this ringing endorsement, Antonio Villaraigosa is the former president of the UCLA chapter of the racial separatist and nationalistic organization MEChA.

Last campaign, Al Gore was Mr. Cardboard.
This campaign, compared with Kerry, Al Gore looks like Mr. Charisma.

While that sounds too good to be true, I was just thinking how cool it would be if California went for Bush. The Reagan bounce.

I know I'm not excited about him. Too haughty and self important for my taste. Haven't we already been there and done that Bubba?

But the dearly and lately departed loved one will vote nonetheless.
Right?
