Mayoral campaign season in full swing

At least the speculation is, as seen in these links and the previous blog post.


Now that City Council President Eric Garcetti successfully campaigned (as one of California’s 65 democratic super-delegates) for Barack Obama and has witnessed his rise to the nomination thanks to a groundswell of encouragement from supporters, can the community come out to convince Garcetti to throw in his hat for the 2009 Los Angeles Mayoral Election?


Many third floor spinners spill a lot of digital ink claiming how Mayor Villaraigosa will run unopposed and coast to victory, despite the prevailing view that the Mayor has produced little in three years and following Mirthala, Hillary and a litany of scandals and missteps that he is damaged goods. Regardless of the spinners' boasts, the list of those seeking to or reported to be seeking to oppose the Mayor's re-election seems to be growing.

Among those noted so far:

Walter Moore
Zev Yaroslavsky
Rick Caruso
Zuma Dogg
Magic Johnson

One of the names you don't see mentioned in these blog posts is Rocky Delgadillo. At least with Rocky we would have a mayor that earned a university degree, went to a recognized Law school and passed the California Bar Exam sucessfully. A vast improvement over Tony "Full of Baloney" Mentirosa.
