Yesterday was the filing deadline. So if you were planning on running for State Senate or Assembly, ooh, too late.
That didn't stop alot of other people from filing.
And in Alameda students walked out of class to protest budget cuts.
Let's hope some students here don't get the same idea. Or maybe it'd be better if they did.

UCD's bomb scare
UCD had a bomb scare this morning.
It's all very unclear right now. But the news said the students had to sleep in the dining hall.
That's kind of similar to when I was in school.

And the Race Goes On
So when they said Super Tuesday was going to decide it, it didn't really decide it. Then they said yesterday would decide it. And it didn't really decide it.
Now, the battle goes on.
Clinton won the key Texas and Ohio last night. But not by enough to end this. And just enough that she isn't going to back down.
Because spending all our time and resources on the democratic primary is definitely the way to go.

Kevin Johnson's really really running for Mayor.
Don't you enjoy how it takes like 5 times before someone really really announces.

How Much DO They Make?
Have some fun with this tool to find out how much any state worker makes.
But then feel overwhelmingly depressed when you realize some little 20-something recent college grad assistant makes more than you.
Oh, and also, everyone on the state's payroll is making more.
It's good we're not in a budget crisis or anything.

Breaking News: Lockyer gets ink!
No really. I could hardly believe it myself - but there he was, the State Treasurer, quoted directly, bright as day. Nutty!
And you thought he'd taken a step down going from AG to Treasurer. He's sure to prevail in the next race for governor now!

More big fish news
From The Roundup, a link to the Chron's political columnists' (gossipmongers?) take on the Assembly leadership vote last week.
(Skip past the opening bit about the Nader/Gonzalez ticket. It'll either make you angry or stupid. Or stupid angry. So really, save yourselves.)
If there's one thing Dems love, it's a band . . . wagon.
Anyway, the question now is about timing: Bass only has so much time left on her term limits clock. Nunez has indicated he's willing to hand over the office sooner rather than later, but define sooner. At the very least, the change can't be as acrimonious as the transfer from Villaraigosa to Hertzberg. Not pretty, from what I heard.
And speaking of Villaraigosa, some people aren't happy by his time spent on out of LA on the trail for Hillary Clinton. I think LA's probably better off with less Antonio time, but he DID technically seem to want the job, so he should probably stick around and do it. Not sure how much more I think of Hillary if she counts him among supporters, but oh well, what can you do.

The play came to a head Wednesday afternoon, with Núñez and Bass calling in uncommitted Democratic lawmakers one by one and telling them this was their chance to get on the bandwagon.
