Another survey shows Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman dead even in the race for Governor, but here's a switch. California voters like Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina as their choices for the US Senate. How do the candidates stand? What about some of those controversial propositions? Will illegal immigration — a federal issue — play a role this year, especially after revelations about Whitman and an undocumented housekeeper? Also, California hasn't conducted an execution for five years. There won't be one tomorrow night, either.
