• The San Francisco Young Democrats are holding a panel on the constitutional convention featuring none other than our own Robert Cruickshank. He’ll be joined my moderate Asm. Fiona Ma and representatives from the Bay Area Council, the New America Foundation, and California Backward Forward.
• George Skelton asks an interesting question: What if Tom Campbell had money? It’s a really intersting question, but he would be a pretty dangerous candidate. His policies might be slightly to the left of Schwarzenegger, and trading the showmanship for some wonkiness. However, unless he does get some money, he’s going to find it tough to win the primary. If he gets through the primary, I (Brian) think he’s the strongest GOP candidate.
• Jeff Sheehy officially launched his bid for the seat of termed out Roger Niello. The seat (AD-5) went for Obama by 5 points in the 2008 presidential election.
• CalBuzz calls President Clinton’s endorsement of Gavin Newsom a “wussy endorsement.” Comparing the Newsom endorsement to some others he has made recently, including that of John Garamendi for Congress, and you see a somewhat tepid tone from the Big Dog.
• UC is looking at charging more for some undergraduate majors than others, based upon expected earnings and costs of faculty.
• The California Faculty Association is conducting “teach-ins” across the CSU campuses to advocate for the oil extraction for higher education bill as well as point out how the budget cuts have hurt the state.

And he’s a queer, that usually resonates well with the Left. Meh, I’m votin’ fer ’em. Solicisms intentional.

YYYYYAAAAAWWWNNN,

Makes sense to me…
