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 […]

From the Southern California News: Sebastian “Sonny” Sardo is one of two Republicans who hope to beat Dreier in next month’s primary. Sardo lives outside of the 26th District but owns an interior design business in La Canada-Flintridge, which is within the boundaries.

Emblematic of the impending battle for a compromise, the Republican chairman of the House Rules […]

Thanks probably to Technorati, someone is reading this blog! And once I write something of actual value I’ll be cross-posting it in diaries on Kos, so hopefully other people will start reading it.
