The percentages are low because the June 2 primary is open to all voters; the Democrats will share the ballot with the G.O.P. candidate, state attorney general Dan Lungren, who is running virtually unopposed (and took 27% in the poll).

For a week Zonker, the comic strip's aging soul-at-large, lamented the bust on Peron's club and went desperately in search of alternative sources for the patients it left stranded. Unfair, said Dan Lungren, California's politically ambitious attorney general, who was criticized by name in the strip for ordering the bust. He called on California newspapers to pull the offending strips. (None did.) "We simply have to tell people the basic facts about what this initiative does," says Lungren...
