The front-runner: can Feinstein capitalize on her 1990 campaign?
Article Abstract:
San Francisco ex-Mayor Dianne Feinstein is running in California against State Controller Gray Davis for a Senate seat in 1992. The position, presently held by Republican John Seymour, is one of two Senate seats alloted to California. Feinstein must win over Davis in a Democratic primary before she could challenge Seymour for the Senate seat. Feinstein almost won in her gubernatorial bid against Pete Wilson in 1990, a feat that boosts her political stock over Davis. However, Davis is an effective fund-raiser and has more campaign funds than Feinstein.

One-on-one with Willie Brown
Article Abstract:
San Francisco, CA, Mayor Willie Brown believes that being a member of the state legislative body is much easier than being city mayor especially of San Francisco. The electorate challenges his social, political, management and leadership skills and provides him with a substantially less flexible budget. Brown exerts his considerable political influence for the interests of the city but sometimes gets frustrated with his inability to effect changes quickly.

Campaign ethics
Article Abstract:
The existence of campaign ethics as viewed by the voting public is questionable. With the numerous campaigns they have been through, they have already seen to what extent political candidates will go through to win elections. However, political practitioners say that campaign ethics exist in the electoral process as they see practices such as cemetery voting, candidate recruitment from the opposite party and noncitizen-voting as taboo practices.
