Jones never announced he was running - he filed papers. Today is Jones' public announcement. Howard's will be later this month.

Thanks for the explanation! I didn't realize there's a difference between filing papers and announcing the beginning of another level of campaigning.

I wonder if the candidates plan to offer opinions on President Bush's illegal alien amnesty proposal or on the new Save our State initiative petition, since CA probably has the most illegal aliens of any state.

Howard already announced he supported the new Prop 187 in Human Events newspaper and in an email he sent out and also OPPOSED granting amnesty to illegal aliens.

I don't know where Jones, Marin or Casey will come out on these two issues though.

One is the real thing, one is just for PR. Generates free press, doncha know.
