    Because of newly drawn boundaries, two Democrats with similar names got stuck in the same Congressional District. But Brad Sherman and Howard Berman are not alone. California's new rules have created a web of confusion as candidates of different parties now run in the same primary.

The top two vote-getters in the June primary will be in the November election, even if they're from the same party. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the fading of trust in American government.
