Garcetti wins race for L.A. mayor; Greuel concedes

Wendy Greuel called Eric Garcetti early Wednesday morning to concede the mayoral election, a Greuel campaign source told The Times, ending a two-year campaign to determine Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's successor and the new political leader of Los Angeles.

Garcetti will be the first elected Jewish mayor of the city. At 42, he will also be the youngest in more than a century. He is scheduled to take office July 1.

"Thank you, Los Angeles," Garcetti wrote in a tweet posted at 2:52 a.m. PDT. "The hard work begins but I am honored to lead this city for the next four years. Let's make this a great city again."
Los Angeles Times

Good riddance, Mayor Occupy.

The city is too far gone for anyone to make any kind of positive impact, but at least Garcetti isn't as beholden to the DWP union as Greuel is.

And is it really necessary for the Times article to point out that Garcetti is the first Jewish mayor of the city.  Lately it seems politics is more about the "first fill in the blank"  person elected tha it is about a quality candidate getting elected, regardless of his/her ethnic background.

I note that Eric Garcetti is the son of Gil Garcetti, who was the DA during the first OJ debacle in which he (OJ) beat the murder raps.

I knew that last name sounded familiar.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
