Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Endorses Warner for Primary

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Nice endorsement, despite the troubling use of the word “Democrat” as an adjective instead of a noun. Someone from the local Democratic Party should write them a letter (more here). “Warner is best Democrat choice in 26th District”: A Rancho Cucamonga business owner is the best choice for Democrats in the June 6 primary election […]

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Politics sure is complicated: But some worried that the constitutional victory for Hastert would be a public-relations problem for the rest of them.

More on the anti-immigrant backlash against Dreier

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Dreier rejects Senate version of immigration bill: Rep.
