So, what do our CA Freepers think of this? Good news or bad? Willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt or not? Midwesterners want to know!

"It doesn't matter whether you go to work in a fancy car or in a bus, or whether you worship in a cathedral or a mosque. We are all Angelenos and we all have a difference to make," he said.

Except the rather large percentage of Illegals.....

Is he going to try to get the original City Seal restored?

First of all, he was the president of the UCLA MEChA chapter, and he has never repudiated MEChA. This outfit has the declared goal of splitting the Southwest off from the USA to form "Aztlan." The official logo of MEChA is an eagle holding a lit dynamite bomb.

as an angeleno, i have to wait and see. neither candidate was conservative, to say the least, and there were many charges of corruption against current mayor. however, new mayor is no prize either. we'll see if all those South of the Border get to be Angelenos too! i live in the San Fernando Valley part of the city that tried to secede -- so people are pretty cynical in general here.

The new mayor is a leftist Democrat. The guy he is replacing is a leftist Democrat. The media is having an orgasm right now because the new guy Rat is "Hispanic" (of course, before he went into politics, his name was Tony Villar. Now he's Antonio Villaigaraso, Mr. Latio Heritage).

Meet the new boss... same as the old boss...

Hmmm, as a Los Angeles resident I can give you a brief comparison.

Hahn is a liberal DemocRAT

Villaraigosa is a liberal DemocRAT

Hahn let the illegals in

Villaraigosa lets the illegals in

Hahn was in with the unions

Villaraigosa is in with different unions

Ummmm...well.... not much difference.

He took the bar exam 4 times, flunked all of them.

He is past prez of the CA ACLU

He is a former union activist.

This is merely a stepping stone.

I live in LA, fortunately(unfortunately during Riordan's 8 years) the Mayor in LA has very little power.

"Latinos are the largest ethnic group in Los Angeles, making up 47 percent of the city's 3.7 million population....."

If illegals are included in the equation that percentage is quite a bit higher.

"Villaraigosa, who is more fluent in English than Spanish......"

lol....that the article even had to point that out is pretty pathetic. ....and very telling.

Southern California was paradise in the 1960's- best education system in the world, also.

Now, it is a dump- the stuff of nightmares.

I've lived in L.A. too long to actually give a crap anymore.

Villaraigosa, 52, the high school dropout son of Mexican immigrants...

Now, why are they failing to mention that he graduated from UCLA and also has a law degree (albeit from some half-baked law school and he's flunked the bar a few times)?

Latinos are the largest ethnic group in Los Angeles

I didn't know that. Am I the last one to find this out?

But political experts said he would be foolish to ignore lingering unease among many in the city over its shifting demographics.

Oh-oh, trouble she is a-brewing.

Like Art Torres the chairman of the CA democratic party answwered when asked why he fights so hard for affirmative actions programs......."Because you whites are going to need them"! This is the end of CA as we once knew it and the beginning of Mexifornia.

. . . the motive for the fighting was unclear . . .

And the new mayor will make sure it stays unclear.

His history of bigotry and racism was played down so much that it was never revealed in this race at all.

He should be great for a quote or two. Maybe not to V. Fox levels, but still lots of Freeper fun.

Oh, and I envision a race war -- maybe hot, probably cold. And whites and Asians will not be involved.

As Hugh Hewitt says, great personality and he obviously can connect to a broad cross section of the Los Angeles public. Being a Democrat, he can be a terrific salesman for L.A. But his far side of the moon Leftist politics guarantee he will never become our State's next Governor.

Check out my friend's (Hal Netkin) website. He was very instrumental in keeping Antonio from winning last go-around. That was a few years back. There's a million more illegals here now and I'm sure many voted by using their phony identities that got them drivers licenses.

Personally, I feel this man will undo any sovereignty left in this state unless folks are constantly vigilant about his actions. Most of us are very weary of trying to make a difference. I'm very discouraged at this point. He is not trustworthy and only has his race of people in his sights and wants complete open borders.

We are very close to civil war. Just check out Save our State and the Baldwin Park debacle. The Latinos are taking over and that was the plan all this time. To stop it will take the MinuteMan Project because there are very few men who would actually take to the streets like the arrogant and violent Mexicans do. They are brave, driven and cohesive. They pull together hundreds at any given time to counter-protest. It's over I'm afraid unless we get ugly back.
