Everyone has been going on and on about the SD-03 race here, and I'm about as far removed from a vested interest as one could be while still living in California, but it's been good for horserace fun- it's definitely the hot race in the halls here, with mountains of lit from all three sides.  It actually reminds me of all the presidential buzz last year, and seems to be overshadowing the Clinton/Obama business so far (at least among the unscientific sample of folks I'm talking to). Joe Nation and Mark Leno have been working the crowds in their way, and Migden, well...she's being herself as well, which from what I hear is at least pretty entertaining.  On the flip is the banner she's been running around the CC with, which turned a few heads for using the official seal of the State Senate while campaigning.  That's a little sketchy, but then what isn't these days?
