The upcoming races for the Democratic nominations for governor in two of the country's biggest "blue" states became clearer this weekend. Attorney General Bill Lockyer has begun publicly seeking official endorsements in California's contest. I was a fan of Lockyer's when he was a state legislator. He was a tough and effective fighter. But I've cooled on him since he became Attorney General. He'll face State Treasurer Phil Angelides in the primary. That field may also include State Controller Steve Westly.
In New Jersey, South Jersey Congressman Rob Andrews has announced he will back US Senator Jon Corzine in the race for governor. Andrews announced that all of the South Jersey Democratic chairs were also going to be backing Corzine in the race. I like Corzine a lot (though I certainly have nothing against Acting Governor Codey who seems to be a hard-working and talented guy) so I consider this to be good news.
