We are joined today by Anne Dunsmore, Campaign Manager for Rescue California, the organization that is heading the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. Dunsmore is a longtime fundraiser and activist and has plenty of experience with the Recall process: she worked on the campaign to oust Gov. Gray Davis and the earlier effort to remove Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird. Will she make it three-for-three?
Plus, as always, we tell you who had the Worst Week in California Politics.
