"Will you visit Bradley Manning in solitary confinement?"

"Will you walk the streets of Wilmington with me, breathe the oil fumes, and work to crack down on polluters?"

Californians recently passed an Open Primary law, meaning that if no candidate wins 50% plus one vote in the Special Election, the top two vote getters go head-to-head in the next round.  Had the Open Primary law been in effect when Winograd challenged Harman in 2010, the two would have faced off against each other in the General Election, as well. Given the small turn-out in special elections, 35,000 of the 300,000 registered voters may decide who replaces Jane Harman.  In June, 2010, Winograd received 18,000 votes.
