Cooper reports from Brentwood
Marc Cooper attended the weekend strategy session at Arianna Huffington's house and thinks she is running for real, as an independent, but with a solidly left team. Bill Zimmerman, who led Tom Hayden's race for U.S. Senate in 1976 and dozens since, would manage. Also there were Salon.com editor David Talbot, producer Lynda Obst, Crossroads School president Paul Cummins, former mayoral candidate Nick Patsaouras and civil rights attorney Connie Rice, among others.
For anyone who knew Arianna in her past life as a “compassionate conservative,” the meeting of that informal committee at her sprawling Brentwood home last Sunday afternoon would have seemed unimaginable.
Cooper, you'll remember, floated Huffington's name as a recall candidate way back.
There's no such thing as the first blog.

Marc may be right about her running, but he's wrong about Arianna having a chance. And what kind of wimps would the Greens be if their man is agreeing to drop out before the race starts? What kind of strategy is that? I'd like to libs get behind Richard Riordan for the simple reason that he's so much better than what we've got, and would get much better when he has no funds to raise and no conservatives to fight. He's never been a Neanderthal, abd I think I remember Marc applauding him as he spoke to the LA Press Club a few months back. right along with the rest of us.
P.S. Why is there no link here to the American Reporter, the first blog and the first online daily newspaper? Jealousy -- they're still pissed off that I went to the Supreme Court without the juice of the ACLU. I've patched that over with the ACLU, but the jealous never forget... (P.S. Joe Shea said that.)
