Senate leader Don Perata announced late Wednesday that he was dropping the recall campaign of Sen. Jeff Denham, due to his "best judgment about how to stop the long, slow slide into another long stalemate" on the budget.
Perata had initiated the recall last summer, after Denham, R-Atwater, sided with the majority of Senate Republicans in blocking passage of the budget during a 52-day standoff.
A campaign committee linked to Perata, D-Oakland, and the Democratic Party spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the recall campaign. >>READ MORE |

McCain Path to Victory
BY MSNBC
4/11/08
WASHINGTON - It is April of 2008, a time when the Republican brand is at an all-time low.
And yet somehow, some way, John McCain is hanging in there. He is proving to be perhaps the only electable Republican in the country, short of Colin Powell or the ineligible Arnold Schwarzenegger. >>READ MORE |

Volunteer of the Month:
 Todd Niles
We are so thankful for all the men and women of Monterey County who come in on a daily, weekly, monthly and occasional basis to volunteer. There are a lot of people who deserve the title of "Volunteer of the Month." But few people ever get the title of "Volunteer of the Century." For us, that title goes to Todd Niles. Todd comes in on a regular basis, plus in an emergency capacity when the tv's won't work or we can't find batteries. Todd is one of those guys that you want to have on speed dial on every phone on earth. For all that he has done and all that he continues to do, we thank him.
