Is Velázquez Done?

City Council candidate Venus Velázquez was arrested for a DUI last night which can't be good for her campaign for Peter Steinbrueck's seat. Apparently, she had "two drinks with her meal" and then hung around for a while to ensure she wasn't impaired. If that's what really happened, bummer. It sounds like she made a better effort than the guys we see "sobering up" at the end of the night by switching to light beer for last call. "No more shots for me...I'm driving. Two Pabsts, please." Needless to say, you don't see those guys appearing in your voter's guide too often. Even if it was two drinks and a cooling off period - a cop saw fit to pull her over, administer the field tests and take her in.

Does this automatically cost her the election? We can see voting for someone with a few indiscretions in their past, but it'd be hard to cast a vote for someone who got tagged with a DUI DURING THE CAMPAIGN. Do you even know who the other candidate is in this race?
