Sacramento gold rush is on

Now that this year's general election is over, attention is beginning to focus on Sacramento and 2010 with a number of real and potential openings.
The big one, of course, is governor, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is being termed out.
One of the potential contenders is Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown, who would be giving up his office to run.
San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has announced she will run for the seat if Brown does try for governor. Also in the wings is City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo, who is still exploring his options.
Also, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has announced he will be running for the GOP nomination for governor, vacating his job.
Assemblyman Dave Jones, D-Sacramento, announced on Thursday that he will seek the Insurance Commissioner job.
"Californians should have a consumer champion as their Insurance Commissioner - I will use the full authority of the office to protect Californians from unfair insurance practices," said Jones. "Its simply not right for insurers to take your money year and after year and then deny you insurance coverage when you need it most."
