Should Hillary Clinton Withdraw from the Race?
05/08/2008
Her money drained and her options dwindling, a resolute Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to press on with her presidential bid even as she and top advisers were hard-pressed

Governor, Assembly Speaker Promote Dueling Redistricting Measures
05/07/2008
Governor Schwarzenegger on Tuesday helped hand in more than enough signatures to place a redistricting initiative on the November ballot. He did so on the same day outgoing Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez introduced his own measure. Nunez wants the legislature to place his idea on the ballot this fall too.

Will Indiana & North Carolina Finally End This Thing?
05/05/2008
Probably not, but tomorrow's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina could go a long way to either solidifying Barack Obama's claim to the Democratic nomination or give a further boost to Hillary Clinton's resurgent campaign. The two states, with a combined total of 187 pledged delegates at stake, have become much more competitive after Hillary's convincing win in Pennsylvania. They also contain a mix of voter demographics crucial to each side's strategies, from a large concentration of African Americans in North Carolina to white, blue collar workers in Indiana. With Barack looking to put this thing in the books and Hillary seeking to cement her comeback, we get a preview of the latest primaries in a seemingly perpetual nomination process.
