Steve Hilton: British strategist becomes unlikely frontrunner for California governor
CA voters face a ballot w/61 names. Steve Hilton is front-runner and had the sunny optimism and experience to lead what is approaching a failed state after 16 years of Democratic rule including supermajorities. Becerra, Steyer and Porter —the bland, the unlikeable and the toxic— vying for second place. Chad Bianco not out of it. But even though election “day” is June 2, CA’s counting is so screwed up we will be lucky to know second place by July.
Will Xavier Becerra’s past come back to haunt him in California governor’s race?
