L.A. Mayoral Primary Today!

Tuesday is Mayoral Primary Day in Los Angeles!
I have been blogging about this race for quite awhile now. The fatal shooting on February 6 of an African-American 13-year old boy named Devin Brown by the LAPD has been reverberating throughout the campaign and the city as a whole.
The main contenders are the incumbent, Mayor Jim Hahn, (my) City Councilperson Antonio Villaraigosa, former State Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, former LAPD Police Chief Bernard Parks and State Senator Richard Alarcon.
Get out and VOTE!
The latest poll data in the Los Angeles Mayoral race was released yesterday, as well as a local television station's online poll:

Who gets your vote for Mayor of Los Angeles?
Choice Votes % of 3806 votes
James Hahn 992 26%
Bernard Parks 325 9%
Antonio Villaraigosa 978 26%
Richard Alarcon 184 5%
Bob Hertzberg 834 22%
None of the above 493 13%


On MyDD, I posted the following response to Jerome Armstrong's call for predictions:

Candidate                 Prediction
James Hahn 22%
Bernard Parks 14%
Antonio Villaraigosa 31%
Richard Alarcon 6%
Bob Hertzberg 21%
Other 6%
I'll be monitoring blogs and other media outlets during the day to see
if there are any exit polls or early indications of which way the vote is going is available.
Turnout will be key. Unlike other media outlets, The Mad Professah Lectures will provide you a follow-up story on how the predictions matched reality.
