California Special Election Watch: Howard Dean, He’s BACK

The San Francisco Chronicle has Howard Dean back in California this weekend.

Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean is back in California this week — and boy, is it getting crowded with Democratic “could be 2008 presidential candidate material” types in the Golden State. Senator Hillary Clinton is here (in Los Angeles Friday), Virginia Governor Mark Warner was here (speaking to SF Bar on Wednesday) and Senator John Kerry also in the state and making news on special election campaigning (here and gone).

Now State Democratic chair Art Torres has told his supporters by email that Dean “has accepted my invitation to join me in meeting Northern California Democrats about Governor Schwarzenegger’s Special Election plans for California.” Expect Dean and his famous oratory to fire up those grassroots Dems: Torres promises he will “speak about how we must enlist every Democrat to turn out to vote in order to defeat the Republican plans for our state.”

Watch for the rhetoric to fly.

Is anyone from Northern California Bear Flag League attending one of his functions to report?

Oh, here they are:

Dean’s plans are to address supporters on Sunday afternoon at the UFCW 870 Union Hall in Hayward. But party chairs are also about money: Dr. Dean is also slated to appear at a $100 a head fundraising party for Rep. Zoe Lofgren at a union hall in San Jose on Saturday night.

All of the National Democrats are trolling for union dollars this weekend.

Flap wonders if Cindy Sheehan will try to meet with any of them?

Heh.
