...ever happened to him. "Don't mourn me," it instructed. "This was the career I chose." They mourned John Heffernan, a guitar player in a punk-rock band, and Eddie Day, who would slap a smiley-face sticker on the helmet of anyone who seemed even remotely down. Matt Rogan, a quiet man who spent all his time fixing things around the firehouse, was laid to rest twice--once with no casket and again after rescuers turned up his body. Finally, they honored the longest-serving man in the firehouse, Rich Kelly, who had spent the past two years slimming...
...three top contributors to Schiff's campaign are Moveon.org, a Silicon Valley-based political action committee (PAC), Dreamworks SKG and Time Warner. Rogan's top contributors are Verizon Communications, Outback Steakhouse and Philip Morris. Although federal regulations limit contributions from corporate PACs to $5,000, the top-donor organizations have easily found loopholes. Philip Morris, for example, has contributed over $11,000 to Rogan. Whichever candidate wins, these corporations will expect a return on their investment in the form of votes in Congress.

The congressional race has become a proxy war for those in both parties who are bitter over the impeachment ordeal. According to the Los Angeles Times, the national and state parties will have spent almost $2.2 million in soft money by Election...
This money is in addition to the over $10 million the candidates will spend themselves. And much of the candidates' money has come from organizations and individuals outside of the district. The largest individual contributions for Schiff have come from west Los Angeles, zipcode 90210; Rogan gets a third of his individual contributions from out of state. The same ideological fervor that drove the impeachment has prompted politically involved citizens from across the country to donate. Rogan's mailing list includes over 50,000 people from 46 states, and as of Tuesday, 83 percent of donations to the Rogan campaign...
