Who Owns the California Democrat Party?

If you think it's the voters, think again. From Mickey Kaus, a journalist who is also challenging Barbara Boxer in the Dem primary:

Sponsors, or Owners? Here are the sponsors of this weekend's California Democratic Party convention. ... And they say unions dominate the party! ... I count 18 union sponsors, 7 professional associations or lobbies, three Indian tribes (gambling), two trade associations, two regulated utilities, and Oracle.

Kaus is fighting an uphill battle against Boxer, not because he's a bad candidate but because the fix is in and the Democrats aren't interested in having anyone challenge Babs. Kaus is willing to challenge not only Boxer but many of the crazy things the Democrats are promoting these days. I would have a tough time choosing between him and at least one of the Republican candidates he's could face if he beat Boxer.
