This morning, Tuesday, April 25, Wes Clark will be holding a press conference and attending a fundraising breakfast for Russ Warner, a Democratic Congressional candidate running against House Rules Committee chair David Dreier. You can read about the event here on the Warner for Congress website and if you happen to attend the event, make sure to stop on by and say hello as I will be in attendence.

For those who don't know too much about Warner or Dreier, suffice it to say this election has the potential of being one of the two or three closest House races in the Golden State this fall. George W. Bush won the district with 55 percent -- about the same amount as he did in the 50th district, where Francine Busby might be within an arm's length of victory. What's more, Dreier ran behind Bush in 2004, barely picking up about 53 percent of the vote as a result of conservative defections over the issue of immigration (which is significantly more salient today than it was two years ago).

Warner himself is a strong candidate for the gerrymandered district. With a business background and a son who served 17 months in Iraq as well as a commitment to the issues important to progressives, Warner really has the potential to connect with voters throughout CA-26. Anyway, if you're attending the event, come on over and say hello. (I look something like this.)
