Just a moment ago, I came across this posting regarding an early endorsement for Mark Leno as he tries to unseat Carole Migden for the State Senate.

Last night the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club voted to move an early endorsement of Mark Leno in the State Senate race to their membership.

Only problem is, the incumbent Democrat and 30-year LGBT community leader Senator Carole Migden was given no notice of this, and was not even afforded an interview or chance to address the membership. And worst of all, her name will not even appear on the ballot for the endorsement vote. This is clearly undemocratic, and challenges the legitimacy of the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Club, and even more, the legitimacy of Mark Leno’s claim to be courteous, open and inclusive. How does that jibe with keeping Senator Migden’s name off the endorsement ballot?

If true, it’s a huge development, especially coming so early in the election cycle. Can anyone confirm this? Stay tuned!
