\u2022 Meg Whitman has already spent $19 million, and plans on spending a lot more<\/a>. If her pace continues according to the normal trendline, we’re talking about a campaign that will rival the presidential campaigns from just 10 years ago. In 2000, George Bush raised $193 million and Al Gore raised $133 million. Well, I guess this will be the test of whether money can buy the governor’s race, because Whitman looks set to dump as much money as necessary.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The AG’s office and medical marijuana advocates are trying to overturn<\/a> an appeal’s court decision to invalidate the ID cards associated with the program. The interesting part is that both parties in the lawsuit are opposed to that portion of the court of appeal ruling.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tom Del Beccaro, a CRP bigwig, praised David Harmer<\/a>, despite Harmer’s failure to get within 5 points of Garamendi. At any rate, it looks like this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Harmer. AD-15 perhaps… <\/p>\n

\u2022 Speaking of Garamendi, Speaker Pelosi wants him in DC and sworn in for the health care vote on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
