California voters on Tuesday are expected to choose two Democrats to face off against each other in the race to succeed Barbara Boxer in the U.S. Senate, shutting out Republicans in a sign of that party's diminished support in America's most populous state.

State Attorney General Kamala Harris and U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez will likely meet in what would be the state's first-ever single-party Senate election under a 2010 California law advancing the top two primary vote-getters to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.

In recent opinion polls ahead of the state's primary on Tuesday, Harris, 51, has led the crowded field of 34 candidates. None of the Republican contenders comes close to Sanchez, 56, who is firmly in second place. Boxer, 75, a Democrat, is retiring after 24 years in the Senate.

Republicans hold no statewide offices in California and represent about 27 percent of registered voters. The state, home to former Republican Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, last elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 1988.

Pathetic and Delusional

I am seriously wondering if the BS crowd will recover in time for November.

This Clinton Guy is Gonna Wait For the End of Tomorrow Night

I'm hoping that she ends up with 2,026 or more pledged delegates. That number---2,026---will constitute a majority of pledged delegates. Should she achieve that, all complaints about superdelegates and "rigged systems" will be flushed down the Toilet Bowl of History, especially given the fact that Hillary has won 3 million more ACTUAL VOTES FROM AMERICANS during the nomination process than Sanders.

Israeli prime minister admits receiving donation but says claim that Arnaud Mimran gave his campaign €1m is ‘lie’

Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has acknowledged receiving a $40,000 donation from a French businessman on trial in France for alleged fraud.

The admission follows weeks of increasingly embarrassing revelations about Netanyahu’s relationship with Arnaud Mimran, one of the main defendants in a trial in Paris over an alleged €283 (£222m) scam involving the trade of carbon credits.

Mimran claimed in court that he had given Netanyahu more than €1m in campaign contributions in 2001, when the Israeli leader was not in public office.

Netanyahu’s office vehemently denied the €1m claim, describing it as a “baseless lie”, but did acknowledge receipt of $40,000.
