It's a fight for second place in California's US Senate race | The Sacramento Bee: "The state's unusual election rules have spawned a low-key contest this spring to determine which candidates advance to the November election for the first open Senate seat in a generation. The quirky part: only the top two vote-getters in the June 7 primary move on.
The front-runner to replace retiring liberal icon Barbara Boxer is not in question: Democratic state Attorney General Kamala Harris got in early and everyone else is chasing her. For now, the battle is for second place.
That's where it gets more dicey.
Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, another Democrat, appears positioned to be the runner-up, setting up a potential November battle within the state's dominant political party. But several little-known Republicans are also in the mix, representing a possible, if distant, chance of a surprise on election day."
