    The New York Times says today that California is one place in the country where the news for Democrats may be slightly improving, rather than getting worse. The latest poll commissioned by the LA Times shows Jerry Brown with a five-point league over Meg Whitman one day before their first debate. ( KCRW will carry the debate live tomorrow from 6-7pm, followed by analysis on WWLA.)
