Villaraigosa backs Hahn in Lt. Gov. race

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stuck with a vote he needs on the City Council and against the man he almost ran against for governor in announcing he is supporting Councilwoman Janice Hahn for lieutentant governor.
Even with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom continuing to hem and haw on whether he will get in the raced, Villaraigosa said he had already decided who he will support and that is Hahn.
What makes it interesting is that Hahn, of course, saw her brother, former Mayor James Hahn defeated by Villaraigosa five years ago.
Adding to the intrigue is that one of Villaraigosa's top political operative, Michael Trujillio is serving as a Hahn consultant.
The mayor made his announcement as he heads off to Washington, D.C., for a one day lobbying trip on his 30-10 funding proposal for Measure R.
