(Skip past the opening bit about the Nader/Gonzalez ticket. It'll either make you angry or stupid. Or stupid angry. So really, save yourselves.)
The play came to a head Wednesday afternoon, with Núñez and Bass calling in uncommitted Democratic lawmakers one by one and telling them this was their chance to get on the bandwagon.
If there's one thing Dems love, it's a band . . . wagon.
Anyway, the question now is about timing: Bass only has so much time left on her term limits clock. Nunez has indicated he's willing to hand over the office sooner rather than later, but define sooner. At the very least, the change can't be as acrimonious as the transfer from Villaraigosa to Hertzberg. Not pretty, from what I heard.
And speaking of Villaraigosa, some people aren't happy by his time spent on out of LA on the trail for Hillary Clinton. I think LA's probably better off with less Antonio time, but he DID technically seem to want the job, so he should probably stick around and do it. Not sure how much more I think of Hillary if she counts him among supporters, but oh well, what can you do.
