Note on California Gov. Race

The Democratic primary in California is June 10th. State treasurer Phil Angelides and State Controller Steve Westly are running for a chance to battle Arnold in November. In the nation-state of California the campaign is almost exclusively 30 second TV spots. As is the habit of the Democrats - the establishment is going for the guy who has no charisma and will likely lose in November: Phil Angelides. Death wishes spring eternal. I will be voting for Westly. The differences are nominal. Except, of course, Westly might beat Arnold. I expect the Dems will drop the house on Westly in the next 10 days. Since nothing so horrifies perpetual losers like a candidate that might win. The race is close now.
In the only other interesting statewide race Jerry Brown looks like a lock for the Dem. nom for State Attorney general. Brown is a smart, interesting man. I am glad he is back on the scene.
