DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION: Leno Signature Gatherers Pushed Out of Convention Center Hotel

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

I just overheard a conversation with Leno folks and Marriott staff. They're being kicked out of the hotel, where a fair share of delegates are lingering about. The Marriott is directly connected to the convention center, and a number of convention events are in the hotel, but the property is obviously private. Nevertheless, I've been observing the signature gathering process, and my gut call is that they will probably have the 300 signatures they need to bring the endorsement vote to the general assembly tomorrow. Leno volunteers are going bar to bar as far away as San Jose City Hall, and one Leno volunteer I talked to said he had already been in dozens of bars.
