Newton: Is Eric Garcetti mayoral material?

He's a strong contender to be the next mayor of L.A., but his fortunes depend in part on who else runs.

Eric Garcetti is one of the city's more likable public officials. He's smart, dapper, quietly confident, attentive to detail, seasoned enough to be taken seriously by power brokers but boyish enough to tend his Twitter feed. He's quite liberal but also a member of the Navy reserve. He's a good listener. And he's deeply immersed in Los Angeles history, with roots in Italy and Mexico, heir to a significant family name and a three-term member of the City Council, where he spent six years as the council president. So, is he a mayor?
