With Newsom considering a run for governor in 2010 and Villaraigosa also seen as a possible contender, observers say tonight’s fundraiser could be an indication of the powerful political alliances that will form if the two mayors face off against each other, with some big Northern California names supporting someone other than the hometown candidate.
“Whether they want to admit it or not, it’s saying these are people who are declaring their support for him (Villaraigosa) over Newsom,” said Barbara O’Connor, professor of political communication at Cal State Sacramento.”*
