In a blow to Mayor James K. Hahn's effort to rebuild his base of black voters, Rep. Maxine Waters endorsed his opponent, Antonio Villaraigosa, on Thursday and put the muscle of her South Los Angeles political operation behind the challenger's campaign.

The move by the city's most influential black elected official marks a major advance for Villaraigosa in his quest for support among African American voters. The Democratic congresswoman commands hundreds of volunteers whose get-out-the-vote efforts can sway a close election. And her ballot recommendations, which she distributes to thousands of South L.A. voters, can carry significant weight.
