Swing State Project notes just how badly Hahn had his ass handed to him in tonights LA Mayoral debate. There was another incident in tonight's debate not mentioned -- the sign that Hahn's campaign is really, really desperate. They brought up a criminal charge that was filed against Villaraigosa in the past. Okay, not an unusual tactic. Problem is, the charge was assault -- against a man who had attacked Villaraigosa's mother.

Now, that's kind of a no-brainer. Don't bring up a criminal charge if it's for something that no jury in the world would convict. So Antonio opened a can of whoopass on someone who attacked his mother? You know what? Good for him. I'm sure there are very few people on earth who wouldn't do the same -- and Mr. Villaraigosa (already my choice anyway) went up quite a few notches on the "Wow" bar.

Meanwhile, Hahn is going down...
