It isn’t only Antonio Villaraigosa<\/strong>‘s political rivals who are gleeful over the Los Angeles mayor’s extramarital exploits. Democratic presidential hopefuls not named Hillary Clinton<\/strong> are snickering at how one of the party frontrunner’s most coveted supporters has suddenly become a potential embarrassment.<\/p>\n

Villaraigosa, who serves as one of four national co-chairmen of Clinton’s campaign, admitted earlier this week that he’s been having an affair<\/a> with Telemundo news anchor Mirthala Salinas<\/strong>. Villaraigosa’s wife Corina<\/strong>—the two merged their last names, Villar and Raigosa, when they married in 1987—announced their separation last month. (Salinas has been pulled off of the air<\/a> while her bosses look into whether she violated the station’s ethics rules.)<\/p>\n

A rising star in the Democratic party, Villaraigosa’s endorsement had been heavily courted by other candidates, especially New Mexico governor Bill Richardson<\/strong>, the only Hispanic in the race. "They’re probably pretty relieved now that they didn’t win that one," laughs an insider from another campaign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for posting Hillary’s campaign headquarters phone #!!!<\/p>\n

I just called them and spoke to a lovely young southern girl. I very politely told her a few of the highlights in the "career" of Tony Villar and told her that I felt he would be a huge negative in her campaign.<\/p>\n

She took lots of notes and asked for my name and phone# in case someone wanted to contact me (sure).<\/p>\n

I told her to google Antonio Villaraigosa if she cared about Hillary’s reputation. I asked her if they had been receiving many calls re the scandal and she sort of hemmed and hawed…but she did admit that the LA headquarters is receiving feedback.<\/p>\n

Everyone needs to call Hillary’s campaign headquarters!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
