The latest Field Poll is out. Two months ago Steve Westly was trailing Phil Angelides in the race for the Democratic gubenatorial nomination in California by 8 points. Now he's 11 points ahead. It should come as a surprise to no one that this turn follows a wildly expensive advertising buy. I don't know that I have a workable solution to this - but it continues to deeply trouble me that very rich individuals have that kind of advantage in key elections across our country.
The Democratic primary in California is in June.
