Description | Los Angeles City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo is a man of ambition. His top aide has suggested that Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois would make a fine running mate when Delgadillo runs for president. "Team 1600" — as in Pennsylvania Avenue — has taken hold as a nickname for Delgadillo's political advisors. City Hall wisecrackers have hummed "Hail to the Chief" as Delgadillo walked by.
His low-profile job offers scant hope of vaulting Delgadillo straight to the White House. But the 45-year-old Democrat is plotting his political ascent, starting with the June primary for state attorney general that pits him against one of California's best-known politicians, former Gov. Jerry Brown.
Delgadillo, a former deputy mayor, Century City entertainment lawyer and Harvard University football defensive back, has sized up the Brown family legacy, which spans nearly eight decades of California politics. His conclusion: "Political dynasties seem to be fading away."
"I want to thank Jerry Brown for his years of service, but I think that the future beckons," Delgadillo said of his 67-year-old rival. |
