Weekend Open Primary, er thread

By Open Thread

• Josh Richman has the scoop on Asm. Alberto Torrico  entering the very crowded AG race.  With this being one of the few open seats vacated at the state level, there might be a few more entries here.  In addition, largely crazy person George Runner is

McNerney's name hits Internet as possible Obama pick for Secretary of Energy

By Jeff Mitchell, PolitickerCA.com Editor

Although it's only been days since the voters of California's 11th Congressional District reelected him to his second term in office, U.S. Rep. Jerry McNerney's name is floating around the Internet as a possible pick as the next Secretary of Energy.

Although he doesn't yet have a seat on the House Energy Committee, McNerney is arguably Congress' most experienced and knowledgeable member on the subject. Prior to being elected for his first term in 2006, McNerney, who holds a doctorate in mathematics, earned a living as a wind energy scientist and engineer.

McNerney well on way to soundly defeating Andal in CA-11

By Jeff Mitchell, PolitickerCA.com Editor

DUBLIN - Using a deadly combination of raising more money and then deploying a better ground game and advertising strategy, first term U.S. Rep. Jerry McNerney trounced  GOP challenger Dean Andal in the much-watched CA-11 Tuesday night.

"It's gratifying to reelected," an exhausted McNerney said in a brief interview with PolitickerCA.com early Wednesday morning. "It tells me that we're doing things right and that constituents in my district care about having regular access to me. As we go forward, that policy and practice will not change."

McNerney cautiously optimistic about chances in CA-11

By Jeff Mitchell, PolitickerCA.com Editor

PLEASANTON -- From an overtly political perspective, you could say that U.S. Rep. Jerry McNerney began his 2008 reelection campaign just a few short weeks after winning office in 2006.

After all, it was back then that the freshman Democrat began a series of seemingly innocuous visitations to all parts of the sprawling CA-11 district. Dubbing them "Congress at your Corner" events, McNerney would sit outside of supermarkets, coffee shops and ice cream parlors and just listen to his constituents.
