California mayors back Clinton

Reminding California Democrats that many of the state party's institutional leaders are backing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom cruised the state Wednesday to support her campaign.

Newsom called his choice of Clinton "a no-brainer" and said she impressed him immediately by discussing San Francisco's homeless challenges rather than asking for his donor lists like other candidates.

"There's one candidate that stands out disproportionately, someone who understands these issues intimately, not just intellectually, someone who was there on the front lines when her husband was president of the United States ... and that's Hillary Clinton," Newsom said.

Villaraigosa also praised Clinton for her economic stimulus plan and her work on solving homelessness.

They were joined by Sacramento Mayor Heather Fargo, Sacramento County Supervisor Roger Dickinson, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk and Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco.

Still shaking my head over his blunders last summer.

Since I now live LA city, I'll get to vote in the next election for mayor.

We'll see. So far I think he's done a good job for the city.

Those are some meaningful endorsements.
