Wed, 14 May 2008 14:09:48 -0700

I thought our Red County Riverside readers might like to know that I saw last night on the Secretary of State website that the CA Dental Assoc. PAC dropped close to 20K on a poll for the 37th as well as close to 30K on campaign literature in support of Assemblyman John Benoit in his race against Russ Bogh. In my experience, PAC's don't usually invest that kind of money for a poll unless they intend to spend quite a bit more and plan to stay in it for the long haul. If anyone has access to

Migden for Senate

Migden for Senate The Bay Area Reporter The protracted Democratic primary fight for the 3rd District state Senate seat has been one of the most distasteful campaigns we've witnessed in years. Incumbent Carole Migden is in the battle for her political survival. Assemblyman Mark Leno says he decided to challenge Migden in the name of "democracy" and on the strength of his polite demeanor, but those reasons barely mask one fact: he's out of a job later this year, a victim of term limits. These

Phone calls, eating, drinking, and slapping the kids around are one thing, but something that’s always irked us is drivers traveling with pets on their laps.

Dianne Feinstein, a big Hillary Clinton fan, wants to talk to her

Wed, 07 May 2008 14:32:44 -0700

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was an early and stout supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid (see this campaign release from July). Might Feinstein's comments today be a harbinger of the feedback Clinton now can expect from many backers for whom politics is a full-time occupation?
