Davis is gambling that there are enough voters like Perez left in California for a poor man to win at a plutocrat's game. If he prevails, Harman and Checchi--like Michael Huffington, the state's failed millionaire Senate candidate of 1994--will have learned that California campaigns aren't so virtual after...
These days it's hard to imagine how anyone could cross the line about anything having to do with Bill Clinton's sex life. But right-wing pundit ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, ever the trailblazer, may have.
