Clinton Has Mayor Love Too
On the same day Barack Obama earns the endorsement of D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Hillary Clinton's camp sent out a release yesterday reminding the media, and other interested parties that she's got the backing of more than 100 current and former mayors who form her new Mayors Council.
(Make sure to watch the washingtonpost.com video of the Fenty-Obama meeting.)
According to the release, the Mayor's council "will advise the campaign on policy and outreach. The council represents a broad cross-section of America, including urban, rural and suburban cities and towns that reflect the nation's diversity."
Clinton certainly claims a healthy group of mayors, though many of them hail from her home state of New York, as well as California and New Jersey. A list of mayoral support provided by the Obama campaign is shorter, but also geographically diverse.
Here's the full list of Clinton's mayoral support. A list of mayors supporting Obama, as provided by the Obama campaign, is posted below:

Wow...Clinton's supporters include a lot of 'former' mayors. I imagine that many of the current mayors who support her may be joining that 'former' list sooner rather that later, including, unfortunately...Villaraigosa.

New York's traffic congestion pricing needs your support. Bloomberg has been a leader on this issue. Freedom to breathe clean air in New York is not free. Freedom to choose faster modes of transportation like bicycles is not free. Don't let the Bush-lovers and the lowest common denominator continue to define America's cowardice.
