    In order to become the first woman mayor of Los Angeles, analysts believed that Controller Wendy Greuel needed to win a majority of female voters and pick up both her home turf in the Valley and, as the somewhat less liberal of the two candidates, win the niche of Republicans who vote in LA. But it didn't happen. Fernando Guerra, who runs the Center for the Study of Los Angeles exit poll at Loyola Marymount University, says that Greuel and Eric Garcetti split the vote among women 50-50. Greuel won in the Valley but only narrowly, 51-49, and that wasn't going to be enough to offset Garcetti's strength elsewhere in the city, Guerra says. Garcetti got 59 percent of white voters and 63 percent of Latinos, according to the exit poll, which correctly predicted Garcetti's eight-point victory margin. The only group in which Greuel did better than expected was among African American voters, where she got 71 percent, says Guerra.

    It all adds up to the Kevin James endorsement of Garcetti &md

    The race for Los Angeles mayor takes another turn tonight at 7 when City Councilman Eric Garcetti and City kontrollant Wendy Greuel face off in a televised debate, the third since the candidates finished as the top vote-getters in the March 5 primary.

    The broadcast on NBC4 and KPCC-FM (89.3) will beam from USC’s Health Sciences Campus next to Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center.

    Monday’s contest comes a day after a USC Price/Los Angeles Times Poll found Garcetti with a 50% to 40% lead among likely voters. Greuel’s team questioned the results of the survey, but some of its findings had to be of concern to her supporters.
