Power Politics enter Los Angeles Mayor's Race

In the final days of Los Angeles' Mayoral Campaign, an embattled Jim Hahn is hoping to score points by linking his opponents to failed energy giant Enron. But he'd better hope the City's own ties to that firm don't get brought up in the news cycle by next Tuesday:

...if anyone should be accused of having a cozy relationship with "Kenny Boy" Lay, it would be Kenny's own boy, Jim Hahn, who has been defending the City against allegations of illegal energy trading and perjury to cover it up.

Whether that angle will make it through the media haze of the campaign's final days remains to be seen.
