Down to the Wire for LA Mayoral Race
Top two candidates neck-and-neck in the polls
Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Wendy Greuel traded barbs with rivals Eric Garcetti and Jan Perry on Sunday as the leading candidates dashed around the city in a final burst of weekend campaigning, from Encino and Eagle Rock to Venice Beach and South Los Angeles.
The top contenders to succeed Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sought to shore up support with morning visits to churches and afternoon stops at a taco stand, farmer's market and art gallery.
With the election just two days away, acrimony erupted anew between Greuel, the city controller, and the two City Council members she sees as her most formidable opponents, Garcetti and Perry.

It's just a wee bit depressing that the guy getting my vote have absolutely no chance in hell of getting elected in this town. Yes, I backed the gay Republican Kevin James. Or as his ads on TV stated, the only guy on the ballot NOT responsible for the mess we're all in right now.
