In theory, a businessman can do a good job, but Riordan is not a real businessman, say like a guy who owns a store, or a factory, or whatever. He is a litigator, who has mainly made his money off government contracting and contacts. Just like Ross Perot (though Perot is an engineer, not an attorney). Riordan has done some good things, but he has not been an effective leader. LA needs a mayor who can take the bully pulpit, rally civic pride, and force reforms through populism, instead of making compromised deals with the devil (i.e. the unions, Jackie Goldberg, developers, etc.). We need someone like Rudy Giuliani.
