LA Mayor`s Race Leaves Joe Jaundiced
In the March 8th Los
Angeles Mayoral election, Republican and immigration
reform candidate Walter Moore
finished sixth.
Although there are more than 1.8
million registered voters in Los Angeles, only 408,000
ballots were cast. Moore received 10,359. The incumbent,
Mayor James Hahn, got only 89,189.
A run-off between first-place
finisher
Antonio Villaraigosa and incumbent Mayor James Hahn
will be held on May 17th.
I can`t deny that this is a
disappointment. My column this weekend will analyze
why Moore didn`t do better.
Some of the reasons—the craven
failure of the Republican Party to support Moore, the
only Republican in the race—are all too familiar.
But other reasons will surprise
you.
