  1. Obama nominates John Kerry to be next secretary of State

    WASHINGTON – President Obama nominated John F. Kerry, the five-term senator from Massachusetts, to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of State on Friday, choosing a longtime political ally who shares much of his foreign policy worldview and is likely to sail through confirmation hearings.

  3. McManus: The death of the moderate Republican

    Republicans just lost eight seats in the House. But if you'd wandered into the House of Representatives last week without reading the election returns, you might have concluded that the GOP won big on Nov. 6.

  4. It's an easy call: Sen. Feinstein

    When a public official has been in office as long as Dianne Feinstein has served in the U.S. Senate, voters understandably wonder whether it shouldn't be someone else's turn. But change for the sake of change is seldom a compelling argument for unseating an incumbent, and it's especially unpersuasive in this year's election.

  5. Mitt Romney chokes on Richard Mourdock's rape comment

    Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, the tea party usurper who took down Sen. Richard Lugar in the Republican primary, created the biggest political buzz of the week by uttering the following sentence in a televised debate: “I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, it is something that God intended to happen.”

  6. An exit interview with Rep. David Dreier

    David Dreier was 26, still living in a dorm at Claremont McKenna College and working as a college administrator, when he ran for Congress the first time, in 1978. He lost then but never thereafter. Sixteen times, Dreier was elected to the House of Representatives from a San Gabriel Valley/San Bernardino County district. He became the youngest-ever chairman of the Rules Committee, mastering the machinery of the House. But in February, he announced he would not seek reelection. He leaves behind a sharply redrawn district, and a Congress he insists is not so awfully different from the one he entered more than half his life ago.

  8. Michael Dukakis, Prof. Politics

    The man who made his political bones handling Boston's blizzard of 1978 has spent the last 17 winters in the sunshine glow of UCLA. Michael Dukakis, the former Massachusetts governor and the 1988 Democratic presidential candidate for president, is a visiting professor at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, launching young people into the public service careers he endorses so passionately. UCLA is where he staged his last fervent campaign rally the day before he lost toGeorge H.W. Bush; the day after the election, he was back at his governor's desk. As California votes in its primary, Dukakis puts his mind to the Golden State's political workings, and the nature of a presidential campaign.

  11. McManus: Americans Elect meets reality

    What happens if you start a political party and nobody comes? Six months ago, a newfangled third party burst onto the scene, full of hope and promise. It was called Americans Elect, and it sought to give voters a choice many said they were looking for: "centrist" candidates who could break the partisan gridlock paralyzing Washington.

  12. Linda Parks for 26th Congressional District

    California's redistricting reforms of 2008 and 2010 took crucial boundary drawing power away from political parties and gave it to an independent commission. The "top two" initiative of 2010 snatched the primaries away from the parties by awarding the November runoff spots to whichever candidates finished first and second in each primary race, regardless of political affiliation. Those combined reforms, at play for the first time in the June 5 primary, have created districts in which incumbents vie against each other for voter support, as Southern Californians are seeing in the 30th Congressional District matchup featuring longtime House veterans Howard Berman and Brad Sherman and in the 44th District race that pits three-term Congresswoman Laura Richardson against first-termer Janice Hahn — or, in the case of the new 26th District that covers most of Ventura County, a wide-open seat with no incumbent at all.
