A parade of politicians

While there is a lot of speculation about whether Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is running for governor next year, there has been no question about the ambitions of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Villaraigosa has yet to announce what he will do as Newsom has created an exploratory committee and been traveling up and down the state to develop support.
And, the two will have a lot to talk about over that when they appear together Saturday at the annual gay rights parade in West Hollywood.
Both men will be at a news conference kicking of the day's festivities and will ride in the parade _ although it was not known if they will be in the same car.
They will have lots of company from the Los Angeles City Council, including the two members who represent Hollywood _ Eric Garcetti and Tom LaBonge _ along with Councilman Bill Rosendahl and Councilman Dennis Zine, who will be in leathers and on his motorycle.
Zine said City Attorney-elect Carmen Trutanich, who rides a Harley Davidson, also planned to be there on his motorcycle.
