As Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa prepares to take the gavel for the Democratic National Committee’s national convention in Charlotte this summer, Yahoo! News asked whether the termed-out mayor could be the nation’s first Latino president.

Villaraigosa assured his interviewer that he has no interest in national office, but he does have another job in mind after 2013, when he will be forced from Getty House.

"The job I've said to people I would like is I would like to be governor of the state of California," he said.

I’ll be moving there eventually, but I work in the biz, and TX does not have a film & TV infrastructure that even Vancouver, canada offers. But going back to this former gangbanger, he could do no worse than this liberal moron called Gov Brown.

There’s probably little conservatives can do to stop him from becoming CA’s governor. But he’d be hard-pressed to make a case to become President... but then, this dumbassed electorate put Obama in the WH by a large margin, so who knows?

"The job I've said to people I would like is I would like to be governor of the state of California,"

That probably would signal the final death knell for California and really really increase the property values here in Arizona.

What the hell makes Villaraigosa think he's qualified to become Governor of California?

Why the dumb SOB can't even manage intelligible Spanish*! George Bush even does it better. And, Villaraigosa, which is not what his name used to be, did not go to Loyola High School which is mandatory for serious Latinos in LA. I know about La Raza, but was he really a gangbanger? Best thing I ever heard about him! Tattoos?

*Univision tried to interview him and had to give up. Just pathetic. Oh well, maybe his Yiddish is better. What a maroon! Can't wait for his convention speech.

You could understand why Moonbeam wanted to be Governor of Californicate .... he’s either still on drugs or there is little left upstairs after doing drugs. Not knowing Villaraigosa, I would assume that he is just very corrupt and wants to take over the mob or is incredibly stupid.

It's funny, he had an opportunity in 2010 and passed on it. Does he expect to "primary" Brown in 2014 or perhaps expects Brown won't run for a second third fourth term as governor?
