Rowdy mayoral debate

- Six of the challengers to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's re-election bid sparred in a rowdy forum Sunday that riled up the crowd over issues like immigration and the failures of city government. Jerry Berrios in the Daily News.

Villaraigosa, who has been running his campaign as if he is uncontested, did not show up. But that didn't stop the candidates from taking shots at him as well as each other.

About the only thing the challengers agreed on was a desire to dethrone Villaraigosa.
