Reshaping The GOP by Nancy OhanianBecause California will be voting early in the cycle (March 3)-- right after Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, the biggest state in the Union will play an outsized role in choosing the Democratic nominee.

He's shoveled immense amounts of money into the political careers of neo-liberals and crooked pols like Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Rod Blagojevich, the Madigans, Melissa Bean, etc. He writes big checks too.
