Waters has a well-established political patronage operation that can benefit Villaraigosa Waters supporters and Waters, but the biggest benefit of the endorsement might be symbolic, signaling the black community that a Villaraigosa mayoralty would look out for their concerns... and not just La Raza and MEcHA members and illegal immigrants from Mejico..

Villaraigosa, in seeking black support, must overcome historical tensions in the city between blacks and Hispanics.

What an absolutely gawd-awful choice to make in the run-off?

Hahn or Villaraigosa.

That sounds almost as bad as the choice in the Minneapolis mayoral race this fall.

Maxine Waters....loose cannon extraordinaire!....

The advantage with Hahn is he's basically a local hack. His political career pretty much ends either in two months, or four years from now. V is a strong and charistmatic type, better able to get things done (bad things), and has future prospects for Senator, Governor, etc... but if he loses again, his career is probably dead. Ergo, Hahn is the "best" choice. At least that's how I am thinking as of right now.

Its the black and brown Communist gang coalition.

Villaraigosa has also been endorsed by our local RINO State Assembly member Keith Richman. Richman, as a reminder, was the one who cast the deciding vote with the democrats a few years ago when the Republicans blocked the budget and called for some fiscal sanity.
