The Strickland campaign is now up by 540 votes. Click here for the latest article from Timm Herdt on the subject.

Looks like Jim Dantona is running. The picture is Democratic Leader Laura Winchester, Oxnard city council member Tim Flynn, and Jim Dantona candidate for state senate ( Against Tony Strickland, seat currently held by Tom McClintock.)

The Democrats are throwing their annual spring fling party today with the Lt. Governor, Lois Capps ( US House) , and Pedro Nava ( State Assembly).

Okay, maybe it isn't dangerous. It actually is a fun, family friendly event. I have been in past years and it is pretty packed with people. It is a great opportunity for networking. If you want to know who is planning to run for office, attending events like this is a great tip off. Will Jim Dantona be there ( thinking about state senate district 19 against Tony Strickland)? or Richard Francis ( thinking about US House seat currently held be Gallegly) ? Let me know tonight when my bloggers get back. Also, send in some pictures before I run out of cats.
