For more than 2 1/2 years, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been the public face of Los Angeles, appearing in one neighborhood after the next and often leading the nightly news.

But over the last two months, he has devoted noticeable time and energy to a cause outside the city. By today, the mayor will have spent 18 of the last 65 days on the road for presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) -- visiting Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Texas as the primary election season has intensified.

Matt Dowd Wants To Know, "Which Voters Gave You The Power To Align Los Angeles With Hillary Clinton

OPEN MESSAGE TO MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA
by Matt Dowd's Press Office

Hey Antonio....which voters of Los Angeles, when you became Mayor, gave you the power to align Los Angeles with Hillary Clinton???

You're the mayor of a major City, claiming to be in fiscal emergency, and yet you're never here, you're parading around the countryside, aligning yourself with Hillary, but what happens when her ship goes down???

You take us all down with you!!

See, we want federal money from the administration that wins, but because you're so completely and sickeningly partisan through this whole campaign, the perception is that YOU (and Los Angeles) are promoting Hillary. and if John McCain wins office, he'll remember you and what you're doing.

We never gave you the mandate to be a Hillary drone. you better pray like hell that Hillary wins, or you'll be run out of town, the day you get back.
