Could you please hurry up and finish it before Villaraigosa runs for CA governor, a springboard to the Presidency.

[Travis McGee]

He may run as somebody's veep, but even that's unlikely. His vision of LA will crash and burn when faced with fiscal reality. This avowed radical socialist only knows one plan: raise taxes to the sky and increase all govt services, for any breathing human who finds his or her way to LA.

This is a death knell for LA, financially, as it will accelerate the flight of the producers. He will never get anywhere near Washington.

But he might be the first Caudillo de la Republica Del Norte, AKA Aztlan. Mayor Mecha's vision is to be a "Founding Father" of a separate, Indo-Hispano Southwest.
