What are the chances that LAX Mayor Villaraigosa be the next CALIFORNIA Governor and next the US President?

He's a natural born U.S. citizen, right?\n\nIf his stance on H.R. 4437 is anything BUT "let all illegals into this country, no documentation required", then he will have no problem vying for the Governor's seat in CA.  As far as the Presidency (including the ? above), well, I don't know.

Mrs. Strayhorn is the Comptroller for the State of Texas and has done a very fine job in that position.  She has cited our present governor for many defiencys that he has side stepped or out of complete ignorance made.  I understand Mrs. Strayhorn will be on the ballot in the next Governors race for the state of Texas and if she is I would bet that she defeats Governor Perry by a landslide. She was raised in a prominent political family and is educated to hold such a position and on the other hand Gov. Perry is best known for his performance on stage as he danced for Clay Walker at the inauguration.  My bet is he will make a lot better dancer than a governor.  Mrs. Strayhorn at least has the morals and stamina to step out when there is a problem.  More research I am sure can be found about Mrs. Strayhorn if you so desire.

Ted Kennedy probably runs the New England States more so than California. Schwarzenegger? Run California? Like elected officials would let that happen. The bureaucracy is so overwhelmingly on a power trip that nobody has power except for corporations and special interest lobbyists.

Pacoima is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, in the northeastern San Fernando Valley. It is bordered by the Los Angeles districts of Mission Hills on the west, Arleta on the south, Sun Valley on the southeast, Lake View Terrace on the northeast, and by the city of San Fernando on the north. Major thoroughfares include San Fernando Road and Laurel Canyon and Van Nuys Boulevards. The Golden State and Ronald Reagan freeways run through the district.\n\nSince it is a neighborhood of L.A. the current Mayor of L.A. is the Mayor of Pacoima: Antonio Villaraigosa \n\nAntonio R. Villaraigosa (born Antonio R. Villar on January 23, 1953) is the current mayor of Los Angeles, California. He is the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since Cristobal Aguilar in 1872. [1] Villaraigosa was elected mayor of Los Angeles in a run-off election on May 17, 2005, in which he defeated incumbent mayor James Hahn. Prior to his service as mayor, Villaraigosa was the California State Assemblyman for the 45th District, the Speaker of the California State Assembly, and the Los Angeles City Councilman representing the 14th District. Before being elected to public office, Villaraigosa had a long career as a labor organizer.

I think Sheriff Joseph Arpaio is a great sheriff, I do not understand why it is not a requirement for all law enforcement to be like him. If he ran for president I would vote for him.

There's no one named Angelini running for CA governor. \n\nConsidering that Arnold's popularity has plummeted, it's probably a pretty safe bet to say that our next governor will be Phil Angelides.

That's going to be GOVERNOR Kinky Freidman in November.\n\nWell, probably not, but odder things have happened.

Well certainly not our pathetic governor, Ahhhnold Boobengrabber. What a joke. "I want to be the people's guhvana of Kahleefoneeaa" "I will fight special interests", while of course he takes millions from big corporations to bully nurses, teachers, firefighters and anyone else who actually stands up for their rights. But here are some extemely popular things in the Golden State: surfing (the kind you do out in the ocean), hiking, backpacing, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, camping, sushi, jazz, Hollywood and all it's glitter, Mexican food, Thai food, and organic food. This is by no means the complete list but it should give you an idea of the energetic, fun loving people in this great state (please forgive us for the Stoogeinator).

Anybody but someone picked by Mexico's President to be Governor of California.. Bastamante was a hand picked choice of President Vincente fox but he did not make it the last time.... Once President Fox gets his man in, California is gone.

Not soon!  Paul Tagliabue, NFL Commisioner is eager to to get a team in L.A. but he will soon retire.\n\nTagliabue has told the 32 team owners that unless a plan for Los Angeles is formulated soon, getting a team back into the nation's second-largest market won't occur by the end of the decade. For now, a six-man committee is handling the issue.

The next country we will force into democracy will be the State of California.

Yes, he will!! The Libs and democrats, are up to there old tricks..They are trying to make him out to be a racist, and not for the poor people. Thats all they know how to do, they never have any real issues on the table..All they ever do is attack any nominee that President Bush puts up for the supreme court..He was just mentioned as one of the best court judges, giving him the highest marks, of anyone.. The libs do not support any nominee, that the President nominates..They actually are against Bush, and not Judge Alito!! He Will be confirmed!!The American people are getting sick and tired of all the bad things, that the Libs and Democrats are saying about the President..You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time..A filibuster will make them look like they are a bunch of Bush haters..

I hope he doesn't win because I think strain between Mexico and our country would be exacerbated on many fronts, from what I hear of his style.\n\nIt is Mexico's business, of course.\n\nI understand he is behind in the polls, though.

He is the first Hispanic mayor of Los Angeles since California became a state.  He is a patriotic American citizen and a relatively liberal Democrat.
