Ventura County Democrats sent me a notice today of their upcoming "Spring Fling," at which they promise the opportunity to meet California's "next attorney general."

Invited to the May 31 event in Oxnard are a half-dozen Democrats who have expressed interest in that job. But as even-handed as the county party attempts to be, it will be very interesting to see whether any of the bunch other than hometown Assemblyman Pedro Nava attends.

Give credit to Kamala Harris, for instance, if she comes down from San Francisco, or Assemblyman Ted Lieu if he comes up from Torrance.
