For those who like their politics verbatim

California Watch's site called Politics Verbatim "cuts through the rhetoric of the 2010 race for governor to see where the major candidates stand on the issues. Since March 2010, we have chronicled what the candidates have said." Tweets included. You can sort excerpts by campaign, topic and location.

Add politics: The Center for Governmental Studies has released Money and Power in the City of Angels, a report that quantifies the advantage of incumbents and the influence of special interests in L.A. elections.
