Heading into the final weekend of campaigning for their party's nomination, State Controller Steve Westly and State Treasurer Phil Angelides are in a statistical tie for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. The two have had a difficult time distinguishing themselves from one another aside from the others accusations of corruption that are delivered in the form of 30-second commercial spots. State Controller Steve Westly joins Patt to discuss his plans for the final few days and why he should be California's next governor.
Three established Democrats are vying for their party's nomination for the office of lieutenant governor. While most Californians don't even know what a Lt. Governor does, the office can be a powerful stepping stone - three lieutenant governors have gone on to be elected California governor, seven others became California's top executive when the governor took another position or died. Two state senators, Jackie Speier of Hillsborough and Liz Figueroa of Fremont, are competing with Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi for the state's No 2 position. They join Patt for a debate.
