In a poll of voters conducted by Democrat Diane Feldman, who worked for John Kerry last year, 72% agreed that the "nation's leaders see ... the current problems and opportunities differently from...

But Villaraigosa, 52, once described by a fellow Democrat as having as much energy as "a hummingbird in flight," is busy taking another call, that one from Frank McCourt, the owner of the Dodgers, who congratulates the mayor-elect and reminds him that there are seats set aside for any game he chooses to attend...
