The reporter that wrote this story sure hung up on race.

It's kind of offensive that so much is made of this guy's ethnicity. He is either qualified for the job or not and his ethnic heritage should have nothing to do with it. Denver had Frederico Pena more than a decade ago. It is not like American voters have been unwilling to elect minorities. This guy's Mexican heritage should not be news.

Now Villaraigosa can rid the city of the white devils once and for all. ;)

[markman46]

wow a very large turn out a whole 440987 total votes out of what 10 millon voters.

Good bye California hello Mexifornia.

Lost Angeles today welcomed Vincente Fox to the ceremony declaring itself free of US government controls.

No longer will illegals be prosecuted for any crime.

Vincente Fox declared that one by one the new Mexifornia will replace local Gringo politicians with lock step Mexicans.

With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Villaraigosa had 258,405 votes, or 59 percent, to 182,582 votes, or 41 percent, for Hahn.

Looks like apathy reigns supreme in L.A.

What do I know..?

But I'd guess there's quite a few more registered voters than 440k

FWIW-

[auboy]

What? No mention of Villaraigosa's strong ACLU ties?

I predict a rapid case of right flight, resulting in a housing market crash.

People are going to create a stampede getting out of LA's boundaries.

There may be a better thread on this & if I come across it I'll send a ping.

In Dover, Pa., a party-line split emerged in a school board primary that has made national headlines because of the board's October decision to require that ninth-grade students be told about ''intelligent design'' when they learn about evolution in biology class. Republicans picked seven incumbent school board members who support the policy, while Democrats favored a slate of seven challengers who say intelligent design doesn't belong in science class. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex, it must have been created by some kind of guiding force.

Yesterday was a primary election. School directors can cross-file. If Dover is a Pub stronghold (and I suspect it is) this basically what would be expected and should be thought a win for ID. Of course, the real election is in Nov.

Except for the stuff on L.A., it's all Pa.

'Twas only a matter of time.....

[kstewskis]

Los Angeles...aka "Mexico City del Norte"

Mexico/AZTLAN has conquered L.A. folks, get used to it. Kiss what you used to know as "California" good bye.

California will soon be to the rest of the U.S. as Quebec is to Canada.

Villaraigosa First Latino to Run City in 133 Years

I seriously doubt LA will ever have a non-Hispanic mayor again. Within a few decades, they will probably have a mayor who cannot speak English.

[Pa' fuera]

Villaraigosa turned his life around to become speaker of the California Assembly

not really, that's the perfect place for a "son of the barrio" to continue wreaking havoc

[1Old Pro]

LA is going down the tubes. He'll be LA's David Dinkins.

''Si, se puede,'' Spanish for ''Yes, we can,''

Actually, I think it means "It can be done."
