From the Chronicle:
This week, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and top Democratic consultant Garry
South criticized statewide Democratic candidates for having anemic ground operations,
a claim that campaign and party officials denied. "While both parties talk up their
ground operation, I haven't seen much evidence of it," said Louis DeSipio, a professor
of political science at UC Irvine and expert on Latino voters. Among voters under
35 - traditionally a left-leaning group - 27 percent remain undecided in California's
U.S. Senate race between Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, and Republican challenger
Carly Fiorina, and 18 percent don't have a favorite in the governor's contest between
Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman, according to a Public Policy Institute
of California poll released this week.
