Which Way, L.A.?

In next week's election, the most visible contest is the Democratic primary for Governor. By now, most voters know that Steve Westly and Phil Angelides are running against each other.

Voters might know that Rocky Delgadillo and Jerry Brown are candidates for Attorney General, but what about Controller, Treasurer, Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor? Do they really matter? We speak with Dick Rosengarten, who edits California Political Week, and from Dan Weintraub, Sacramento Bee columnist and web blogger, about the so-called "down ballot" contests.Making News: Democrats Battle over War in Iraq in 36th Congressional DistrictA Democratic congressional primary on LA's Westside has become a battleground over the war in Iraq.
