Steve Hartman
In 2002, the SCSBA nominated Hartman as "best radio talk show host" making him the first person to be nominated as both a talk show host and color analyst. He was also a 2004 inductee into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. In addition to his radio portfolio, he has been a weekend television sports anchor for KCBS in Los Angeles since 1998. Five times (1999-2001; 2003-04), Hartman and his colleagues have been honored as the best local sports television team by the SCSBA. In addition, he served seven years as a television color analyst for ESPN's coverage of the Toyota "Pro/Celebrity" race at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Hartman first gained notice as the Daily Bruin sports editor at UCLA where he gained West Coast collegiate honors for his coverage of the 1980 Final Four.
Dann: Little guy's hero or tilter at windmills?
Now Republicans view him as his party's Achilles heel. "Marc has done some good things and some dumb things and some things that I think went beyond the constitutional and statutory authority of the office," said state Sen. Tim Grendell, a Republican who also ran for the office. "But the one thing you can say is he's not shy about trying to use his authority." Dann, whose unpretentious enthusiasm has often been the source of his woes, made his political name attacking corruption. Emerging as an appointed state senator with a small private law office, he became the face of the Democrats' charge against the "Coingate" investment scandal that contributed to the GOP election losses. But Dann's short climb to statewide power quickly became apparent. He got caught in a traffic jam and arrived late to his first big news conference.
Your religion has many fine qualities!
This comes after Angelides ran lots of TV ads linking Schwarzenegger to President Bush and the Iraq War. ... 3:30 P.M. Eric Alterman clarifies his paranoia about the mighty Rove Attack Machine: In thinking about it, the "flip-flop" argument works against senators but not governors, because it's so easy to misportray parliamentary votes as something they are not. So Obama should run now before he's got a bunch of votes to misportray. That's why it was harder to Clinton and would be harder to do to [Ed] Rendell (and maybe Mark Warner). Response: a) Just because in 2004 Rove destroyed one of the epic, legendary flip-floppers and straddlers of our political era doesn't mean he can destroy anyone; b) Obama would be less susceptible to the flip-flop charge if he stopped flip-flopping (for example, his vote against the border fence before he was for it).
