Los Angeles mayoral elections were today, and it looks like Antonio Villaraigosa has it sewn up!
Four years ago, he ran against James Hahn and lost. I voted for him, mainly because I think LA needs Latino representation. I was pretty ticked off when Hahn won, especially since they cut into Jay Leno to broadcast Hahn’s victory speech. Hugh Jackman was the guest, which was the only reason I was watching, so I had to be frustrated on two levels while the interruption went on. and on. and on. But luckily, the affiliate resumed Leno at the point where they’d left off.
Anyway, so we have a new mayor! Woohoo! (And yes, I know he failed the bar exam multiple times. SFW.)
