The one silver lining might be that a Villaraigosa mayorship may finally lead the Valley and other parts of LA to secede from the city

Along with every other part of L.A. that doesn't resemble Guadalajara. Yet.

Isn't the Valley heavily (about 40%) Hispanic (Van Nuys in particular), with large Jewish populations in Studio City and Sherman Oaks? Isn't it also home to the adult film capital of America (Chatsworth)? How the h-ll would a Valley Secession be good for Republicans.

From my perspective Hahn and Villaraigosa are both corrupt liberal jacka-sses that make MY current Mayor (Greg Nickles) look like a paragon of competance.
