One of this year's nastiest and most expensive campaigns for Congress is taking place in the West San Fernando Valley. Veteran Democrats Howard Berman and Brad Sherman have been forced to compete for the newly drawn 30th District. They've spent more than $10 million, exchanged insults, and, in a now-infamous televised moment, almost come almost to blows. As Berman and Sherman struggle down to the wire, Eric Bauman, head of the LA County Democratic Party, offers a description. "Sherman is visible and present in the district and totally keyed in on the local concerns and issues." He describes Berman as being "on the national and international stage and…a leader in Washington and on foreign affairs."
