As Smelt mentioned below, and as linked to in today's Roundup, an apparently calm and orderly transition of power in the Senate from Don "Indictment Coming Soon" Perata to Darrell "Hometown Super Star" Steinberg will take place later this summer. Apparently, it took just a cordial lunch with Angeleno Alex "Still Hot" Padilla to get him to back off his potential challenge. Thus, the Senate will stay NorCal and the Assembly will probably remain SoCal.
I love Darrell. He won the "Minnie" multiple times, back when we still had a political journal that gave out awards. He was routinely sited as a reason to extend term limits. He's known for his integrity, intelligence, dedication to sound policy, and all around nice-guy-itude that can be sorely lacking 'round the dome these days. Talk about changing it up.
Like Smelt says - who will win in the green room, though? Will the Wesson Legacy continue through Nunez to Karen Bass? Or will Hector prevail?
Tune in next week to "As the Leadership Turns . . . . "
