It's Angelides vs. Westly
Sure, you're all into this upcoming election to vote on bond measures and Central Committee members, but some of us are psyched on the big vote, the one to see who will get clobbered by take on the Governator. Will it be cool, techy Steve Westly or the spry and wiry Phil Angelides? What do they say on the issues? What do they want to do to take the state in a new direction? What is on their iPod lists?
We dunno.
Actually, for you, dear readers, we did some research to help you figure it all out. Sadly, we couldn't find a damn thing about their iPod lists (we're guessing it won't include Nelly) but did find out a whole bunch of other stuff. So here, as our final report, is the handy-dandy guide SFist has put together to the respective Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates.
