BTW you know 23 states have a lower population than Los Angeles, correct?

(14,726 posts)would not be good at the job but I think that people are sick and tired of these names and are thirsting for someone new. When I heard him on NPR, I thought he might be a good person to put out there. There are actually groups all around the country that have twitter sites for him.

(14,726 posts)I also thought this from 2014 was interesting: "The former president referenced the race but accidentally said that Garcetti had been elected president, not mayor. Clinton told Garcetti that he "may become president one day."

(99,710 posts)I am sure he did it out of civic obligation but it's a great resume builder. He also is responsible for the revitalization of Hollywood.
